He's a solid finisher with his right, but he has 0 confidence in his left foot, been apparent since he broke through.

Was alright first half, did his usual head down run forward Dont pass thing a few times but alright. 2nd half absolute gash, then one sublime touch/pass.
His clever assist salvaged an awful performance. Continually runs right down the throat of defenders only to be easily bounced off. Annoying new habit he's developed. Just keeps choosing the wrong options.
Ran down blind alleys a lot but that was a deft touch to set up McTominay.
Does he have OK games? He's either sensational or absolute poop. Tonight was the latter unfortunately
I think being out there generally forces him to be a better team player because he can’t always try and spam his special move of run in to traffic. Think he just fits the team better out there.
Can he just stop trying to run through 5 defenders please ? My eyes are burning
25 goal involvements for him this season now a more decent return for a player with plenty of room for improvement.
I really really wish we had the depth to drop him to the bench for a month or so and make him fight his way back into the starting line-up.
Of course Martial needs the same treatment so it's difficult.

Striker.
Agreed.
We need competition for places and for me signing a left sided player should be priority in attack. A CB and Jack Grealish is what this team needs.
By far our worst performing player tonight, particularly his off the ball work, or rather, complete lack of work.
Martial gets slagged again, but at least he was trying and was involved in a lot of good hold up and linking play.
Marcus gets of the hook for his cushioned lay-off for McT’s goal, but other than that, his 2nd half and extra time performance was awful.
As for scoring, Rashford has scored 2 goals in the last 12 games.
He’s only scored 1 in the last 8 league games.

I honestly think Ole needs to be a bit tougher on him. I get the impression he’s just told he’s great all the time and that he’s doing all the right things. He needs to improve his finishing and decision making. If he was 10% more clinical he’d be an absolutely elite player.
Its really hard to rate him at the moment, he misses so many clear chances its frustrating but at the same time his numbers are really good.
Another shit performance that will be glossed over by the fanbois due to his assist. It’s matches like this where he should be carrying the team, not ambling around pretty worthlessly.
His performances in the very good / excellent bracket are averaging about one game in four. That’s pathetic.

I just watched the highlights but what has happened to his finishing! He used to be a very good finisher and now he is very inconsistent. He really needs to reset his mentality with regards to finishing chances.
The most frustrating part was his work rate, it has gone down very low now. He doesn't press, lets the players pass by easily in defensive third.
It's such a weird season, he has 27 goal contributions in 2646 mins, averaging around 98 mins per goal contribution (that too without taking penalties) but somehow feel his game has regressed. Same with other attackers too, at least Greenwood started playing very well (even when he isn't soring).
He tried to take on whole west ham too many times, it didn't work out so at least should have went with different approach but he still kept on trying that losing ball.

Must have been watching a different game to me
He was frustrating to watch throughout the game. He still popped up with that assist of McTominay goal which is what he usually does most games now. He plays below par for most of the games but has an assist or goal to his name at the end. It is a dangerous thing to applaud or set standards to because someday in some crunch match, against some quality opposition, this one moment of brilliance will not come and United are going to get knocked out of yet another tournament. We applaud our players for doing bare minimum, and then are shocked when this team does not really win anything. He certainly has to offer more quality with the ball at his feet and has to be more consistent over the ninety minutes of the game.
Unless Rashford performance level improves drastically before the end of the season he should not be guaranteed starter next season, yes he is producing numbers currently but if he continues performing as he has been this season which is simply not good enough eventually his numbers would also start reflecting his actual level which is inconsistent and patchy to say the least.
Yeah i don't see him having any OK games.
He rarely has sensational games to be honest you can count number of games where he is constant threat for 90 m on fingers tips , he is mostly poor with goal or assist making his performances bit more acceptable which to be honest isn't sustainable in long run it would catch up to him.
Spot on. Tbh i love that he always looks to create danger when on the ball, but he needs to learn when to go for the kill and when to slow down
This is what he envisions himself doing, when he runs straight at a group of defenders
Why is it inevitable? Greenwood has an ok game playing in the same system?
IMO he's totally out of form. He's getting the numbers because he gets at the end of things, but it's not "a bad game here and there".
Surprised by your comment anyway, have I said something controversial?
Edit: I actually think it's the other way around, he's in woeful form apart from odd game here and there.

I’m a huge fan of Rashford and think he’s a great player. He’s not had a great season at all and hasn’t performed to the level I believe he’s capable of and what he has shown in the past.
Up until the back injury last season he looked phenomenal but he hasn’t rediscovered his form.
Looks to me to try and do either too much or takes the difficult option, like the cross field pass, which rarely works for him.
Still firmly believe he’s a top talent and will be a star player for years to come, but hasn’t shown it enough this season.

Clever assist, but felt he was shockingly bad and should have been substituted instead of Greenwood.
Exactly I think for him an ‘okay’ performance looks deceptively world-beating because of how routinely dire he is that not being terrible once every five of six games makes him look amazing. Compared with genuinely amazing players his performance matches the standards they’re regularly held too so rarely.
16 goals and 10 assists and people think he's rubbish.
Martial has 7 goals and 5 assists and people in comments above saying he's playing well.
Martial holds the ball up well. What else is he doing that's good? He's not scoring. He's not making chances for others and therefore getting very few assists.
Rashford has more than doubled Martials's output for goals and assists this season.
Martial fan boys are getting embarrassing now. Drop Rashford for who? He is doing better than the others.

Here is the issue. An assist or a goal can take 1 second to happen, 1 touch, 1 pass. A game is 90 minutes. Getting an assist or goal doesn’t automatically mean you had a good game. This is why there will always be debate as some people only care about a player and stats over the team and how it affects how the rest of the team performs/functions.
He is burnt out, he has been involved in every single match this season in some capacity
He just seems to be running down dead ends all the time at the minute. We really need him to find form but with every passing game I just don’t know where or when he’s going to find it.
Rashford is usually let down by his decision making. He is a not a good reader of the game, thus can not predict how the play will pan out, which results in him taking lots of wrong decisions. He needs to spend a lot of hours in front of a monitor with an analyst.
Why does it have to be a Rashford vs Martial convo? Has anyone said Martial has been playing well?
If anything, both need serious competition. Martial's got his in Cavani who has rightly pushed him out of the starting 11 based on performance levels, and Rashford needs serious quality competition too because his performances aren't good enough

I'll say this:
I'm so fecking glad he plays for us!

Although he is in a bad patch right now, he is still part of several good moments every game. I'm not too worried.
This part of his career can prove to be instrumental for the rest of it. It's obviously the mental part of his game he needs to work on. Once he finds the key to unlock how to get through these patches, he will be a monster of a player. Problem is that it isn't given that he will get there. A lot of good players have lacked the ability to continously perform at a high level.

Rashford didn't play well but he's still popping up regularly with moments. Martial isn't playing well and isn't getting moments either. Holding the ball up isnt playing well. He's a forward and getting hardly any returns.
Martial was on 2 PL goals up to being brought on to play a Southampton team on their knees. Now he's got 4 PL goals.
Scott Mctomminay has more.
Do you - honestly - not know why Rashford runs into the channel and tries to take 3/4 defenders with him? Does that not make sense to you?
Yeah plenty above which is why I stated that. People saying he played well last night because he held up the ball well. Hahahaha. Forget the fact he got all his final passes wrong and his shots were woeful and like back passes. He's holding ball up well so that must means he's good.
