He's massively under appreciated by Utd fans. By the end of his career he will make a lot of people look dumb as chit.
Already looking forward to Rashy's 40 goal seasonIf we're combining age, commitment to the club and ability, you're probably right.
Pogba is a better player but his commitment is an issue. De Gea has been a better player although is on the decline now & is another who has looked to leave in the past.
Rashford, Martial and Wan-Bissaka are our most important/valuable players right now.
Other way around for me, Rashford=Ronaldo, Greenwood=Rooney
Before the mob start I'm not saying they are as good as them.
Ronaldo was not a fantastic finisher at 21-22, he missed a lot of chances, similar to Rashford now. In fact, his breakout season was 2006-07 when he hit 23 goals from the wing, he was 21-22 that season. Rashford is already on 16 this season, so he should hit that mark or perhaps even beat it. I'm by no means saying Rashford will be anything close to Ronaldo's level, but there are similarities statistically between them at the same age. Rashford seems to be beginning to become a good header of the ball, another thing Ronaldo developed at from 21-22 onwards.
If you look at their PL records in full seasons when they were the same age
Ronaldo at age 18-19 - apps: 29, goals: 4
Rashford at age 18-19 - apps: 32, goals: 5
Ronaldo at age 19-20 - apps: 33, goals: 5
Rashford at age 19-20 - apps: 35, goals: 7
Ronaldo at age 20-21 - apps: 33, goals: 9
Rashford at age 20-21 - apps: 33, goals 10
Ronaldo at age 21-22 - apps: 34, goals: 17
Rashford at age 21-22 (so far) - apps: 20, goals: 12
It's undeniable that it's a strikingly similar record.
Not really sure what this is based on at this point.Pogba is still better and more valuable and it ain’t even close.
I agree, but I don't believe Rashford is that far behind now,.Himself and Pogba are probably our 2 most valuable but I'd probably have Pogba and Martial as better players.
That’s a massive disservice to Nani, he could hit it from range with either foot, Nani at his peak was one of the best wide men around, he had it all.Rashford is better than Nani. He can also hit a ball far sweeter imo.
Nani was a good tricky winger but that’s about it. Only one season did he play like something resembling Rashford this year. Rashford could go on to become a legend at this club, he’s mentally stronger with a bigger potential. He’s a special player for us atm.
I agree, he's improved tenfold this season but I don't think he'll surpass either because I don't think either have shown their true potential.I agree, but I don't believe Rashford is that far behind now,.
Those two have far more natural ability, but what Rashford may have lacked in that, he makes up for in sheer effort and determination to improve, which will likely take him past those two far higher maintenance players soon enough imo.
And still getting little love from some fans! What does a guy need to do to please these fans?Currently more league goals than Aguero, Harry Kane, Mane, Salah and Sterling.
5 behind the leader Vardy, and could conceivably be a contender for golden boot this season.
That's all with a hatful of other chances he should have scored.
Couldn't agree more.Many of these posts are based on a run of decent form and nothing else.
Rashford's a useful player, but he's not the best player in our squad...
Pogba > Martial > Rashford
Ronaldo was a flare player, then he became the greatest goal scorer of this generation by cutting the shit out of his game.Can't put my finger on what he's missing but he certainly lacks that flair a player like Hazard or Salah have. Still and obvious starter for most teams. I guess it comes down to his anticipation and vision.

Do you seriously think that any of the Elite clubs - your Reals, Barcas, Juves, City, Liverpool (if they could buy him) - would pay more for Rashford than they would for Paul Pogba...?The thread is about who is the most valuable player in our squad.
Its Rashford by a mile now when Pogbas contract is winding down.
Rashford is 22, has a pretty cheap contract (considering his performance now) until 2024 if you include the bonus year.
He is English as well.
CIES has him at 100m plus and thats probably low.
They are both worth 100m plus if we are talking value. Now.Do you seriously think that any of the Elite clubs - your Reals, Barcas, Juves, City, Liverpool (if they could buy him) - would pay more for Rashford than they would for Paul Pogba...?
Which of those clubs do you even think he'd get into the team with?
Rashford isn't worth half of Pogba's value, but the English tag and media bias has easily added 20-30m to his value. You're sounding like Pogba is close to his 30's, he's 26 for another 3 months. He's also lightyears ahead of Rashford as far as marketing and social media followings, which always has an impact on the value of a player. We're not even in the same stratosphere between the two. Another example of massive Rashford overhype.They are both worth 100m plus if we are talking value. Now.
Pogbas value will decrease after nxt summer due to his contract situation and his age.
United are not going to sell Rashford no matter what is offered so it is a bit of a moot question that.
And in my opinion he would get in all of those teams, or at least be very competative.
Rashford is a very, very good player.
Pogba will also be 27 this summer with 1+1 year left on his contract.Rashford isn't worth half of Pogba's value, but the English tag and media bias has easily added 20-30m to his value.

And yet Pogba is worth more regardless of the contract situation. Who is really going after Marcus Rashford? Are you one of those who believed Barcelona were willing to put up 100m for him a year ago? It's just nonsense media bs. Rashford is a good player, and he may be on his way to being great and getting closer to Pogba's value, but you're still talking about 2 years' of contract left after 6 months from now, that's not enough to bring Rashford's value anywhere close to Pogba's right now.Pogba will also be 27 this summer with 1+1 year left on his contract.
Rashford is 22 with 3+1 left.
I thought this thread was about value but now its just bias with posts like this. And its not media bias.
Who was really going after Paul Scholes?Who is really going after Marcus Rashford?
Im a big Rashford fan but Mbappé is slightly quicker, stronger and better in the air even if we leave decision making out of it. No great shame in that of course, Mbappé has been world class since the age of 18.I would probably agree he is the most valuable player but generally I think Martial and Pogba are better players. It’s such a fine margin though as if Rashford can just sort his decision making out and be a consistent clinical finisher then hands down he’d be something really really special as he has all the tools of an Mbappe except for the footballing choices he makes on the pitch.
Comparing Paul Scholes - a player adored by Zidane, Pirlo, Messi - to Marcus fecking Rashford...Who was really going after Paul Scholes?
Could it be that no one really bothers about chasing him because he is not interested in going anywhere else?
Don't know about paying more, but as far as getting into top clubs - if he continues the form he has had this season, scoring more than City and Liverpool forwards - of course they will want him. Same for Barca, Juve, and RM - they all have aging forwards that need to be replaced by a proven, younger talent.Do you seriously think that any of the Elite clubs - your Reals, Barcas, Juves, City, Liverpool (if they could buy him) - would pay more for Rashford than they would for Paul Pogba...?
Which of those clubs do you even think he'd get into the team with?
Evening,Our best player by far. No doubt. Anyone disagree?
If rumours are to be believed, Inter Milan put in a world record bid for Scholes in 2000.Who was really going after Paul Scholes?
Martial was injured a lot. Can't score if you are not playing. I don't think Martial is better than Rashford but when Martial is on the pitch we clearly play better and arguably he stretches the defenders, creates space for Rashford to also be way more effective.The over rating of Martial is mad, his top scoring season for us is what... 17 goals? Rashford is on 16 goals with half a season left, he's on a different level to Martial imo.
Yet if Rashford was out injured Martial would also struggle as he would be our only source of goals, just like how Rashford struggled when Martial was out earlier this season. The issue wasn't that Martial was injured, the issue was that we had no goal replacement and so opponents could double up on Rashford thus destroying any hope of us scoring.Martial was injured a lot.

Can't disagree with that. We have exciting forwards but our squad has no depth. Was even worse before Greenwood was getting more trustYet if Rashford was out injured Martial would also struggle as he would be our only source of goals, just like how Rashford struggled when Martial was out earlier this season.
