Some of the agenda posts in this Rashford thread are pathetic. Who would have thought he was a genuinely talented local academy product? For any club on England, those are rare. Let alone one as good as Rashford.
technically, these above are agenda posts though. Its almost football facism. I am open to the idea that people see players and form their own opinions. If yours dont align with them, that does not mean they have an agenda. Its not like Rashford is Ronaldo and people are calling him crap. (that would signal an agenda)

9 goals and assists in last 10 appearances. That's an incredible return.

Loved the skill for the first goal. And his delivery from the set piece was also great.

Deserved a goal today. Hard to believe he's only 19 really.. soemtimes he just dances around defenders.

Nice pick out for the opening goal and I wonder if that free-kick was going in, his best performance for United this month.

I kind of get what you mean. Posters can use padded out stats to justify their argument.

BUT just enjoy Rashford. He's great, he's a Manc, what more can we ask for?

Otherwise what happens is you end up arguing nothing points and ignoring the good stuff he's doing on the pitch right now.
Thanks, I kinda get the feeling that this forum frowns on being open and you have to be more subtle to pass your message across in peace

Case in point:
The good news is that it's only Crystal Palace, so there's no chance that Rashford is going to be as poor as he was against Everton and Southampton.

Hoping Martial might get a 4 min cameo in order to double the time he got against Everton ( :lol: )
Same message as mine but more subtle, I might just have to take a leaf out of his books to survive here

Anyways, great game from rashford with two beautiful assists. Does this mean he starts against Liverpool now?

Very good performance I think. It is so great to see all our strikers performing so well at the moment. Feels we can get goals from anywhere.

Thought he played well though still runs into defenders too often. But great bit of skill for the goal and also the free kick was great.

19 years old. 19.
Rashford plays v Liverpool, he's needed on Salah's side.

Unless we go 3 at the back?

The way he destroyed the fullback on the turn for Mata's goal was absolute filth. He's performing better than Martial at the moment but only marginally.
Don't start that now, because it's simply not true and why the Martial thread is blowing up every day. Rashford simply has played significantly more without being a more impactful player than Martial, which is why there's a lot of Martial vs Rashford talk on the caf.

Considering he didn't lose his spot after his performances against Everton and Southampton, he's never in a million miles going to lose it now after two assists
That's the main issue isn't it, I saw this floating around before the game

I wonder if it's still gonna hold true for our next match, that match to me is the ultimate litmus test for whether Jose really has it in for martial (it's crazy but I'm still holding out hope of Jose surprising us and showing a method to his madness)

Reasons for playing martial in the Liverpool game:
1.) The "rotation" Jose is supposedly employing currently
2.) Being fresh after the international break compared to rashford
3.) Being in a better form than rashford (yes even after today, martial is in a better form)

Reasons for starting rashford;
1.) Played well today.. This doesn't hold much water as martial has been dropped regardless of how he performed
2.) Rashford's defensive contributuons
3.) Jose simply prefers him over martial

Interesting to see how it all plays out in two weeks time

Going by those reasons I think he will start Martial, unless Rashford puts in a monster performance for England.

Some people who used to shitpost in the Fellaini thread do it here now, enjoy.
Yeah it's absolutely awful. Imagine having an agenda against an homegrown player.

I really want to see Rashford on the right and Martial on the left. Let's have some balls, and give the two of them a try. Mata or Mikhi simply don't deserve at the moment to be automatic starters on the right when the two youngsters are being so productive with the time given.

I echo others thoughts on him playing in the #10 role as a SS. I think he could make that position his own and having him, Lukaku, Martial and one of Mata/Mkhi would be nice to see for once. He could easily rotate out wide with Martial coming inside. I've missed seeing him and Martial linkup together as the signs in 15/16 were promising.

The agenda against Rashford :lol:

Some of you are just fecking sad. Wonderful from him again today. He's scoring and setting up goals when it counts. Our manager who supposedly doesn't believe in youth continues to start and believe in him, and I love it.

Asensio is being rated as different class from Rashford for some reason yet he's two years old and has 2 goals and 1 assist in 417 minutes this season whereas Rashford has 3 goals and 3 assists in 504 minutes this season. For comparison's sake Mbappe has 3 goals and 3 assists in 498 minutes this season. Jesus has 5 goals in 472 mins
.

Just quoting this from another thread.

All of the above stats are from only PL and UCL. Obviously if we include the Carling cup, then Rashford's stats will look even more good.

Holds up well in this list particularly given the fact that the general opinion here is that he's a level below all of those other talents.

Or, you know, there might certain tactical considerations? Tactics which Rashford carries out better than Martial? Tactics which have us top of the league? Ever considered our tactics at 0-0 and 3-0 up are different? Ever considered that Rashford is a brilliant player in his own right? Ever considered Mourinho knows what he's doing? Mourinho has no agenda against Martial. He is putting out a team to win every game, and bar one that's exactly what we are doing.

Don't be silly. It is not football facism: the mods are not censoring opinions.

Fantastic player. He's a joy to watch and you can hear it in the crowd, the excitement he brings every time he gets the ball.

Surely the question isn't if Martial or Rashford is the better player but how to play them both simultaniously.

I get the feeling Jose is somewhat required to start Rashford when Pogba or Lingard aren't starting due to the grownups in the first XI record. For instance, if we had someone else starting in any other role, I'm sure Martial would start most games over Rashford.
