I don't think he was expected to make the bench, anyway. Fellaini is ahead of him for the striker role (and he's behind Martial and Memphis who will probably be starters).
Would make the bench instead of Varela imo (yeah he's not starting) if he's considered as a striker.
Yes, but we played 2 upfront last week. I don't think that's going to be the case today. It wouldn't be a surprise though, in any case. Just not expecting it, personally.
I'm surprised he's ahead of Weir and Harrop for the winger position
LVG considers him a wonderful talent, and he's shown that he's not afraid to put youngsters into the team
I think we should give him a go, we're lacking a true striker and he's putting them away for the under 21's.
He actually only has 1 u21 goal and has played a total of 60 minutes in the u21s. He only started playing as a striker last year too, so he is hardly a truer striker than Martial. I think everyone needs to play u21 football regularly before stepping up to the first team, the step up from u18s to first team is way too large.
Looks like Rashford is taking Will Keane's spot.. Training with the 1st team today, should be on the bench for the coming few weeks with Rooney and Keane out
Lets be optimistic...thats a goal and a half a game!
We are in such trouble if martial picks up an injury or gets sent off in the next couple of weeks
Think Januzaj has to be given a run upfront ahead of Rashford, him or Memphis.
Adnan's ineligible for the EL game, and he'll have to go the reserves route and build up fitness before Van Gaal throws him in to the 1st team
On the bench tonight
when he plays from the left he kinda reminds me of Martial, not as good at hold up play but freaking pacy and nice dribbler, while rooney's out I would try him from theleft as an left winger-forward
Always impressed whenever I've seen Rashford.
What I like most about Rashford is the pace of his development. He's only recently been played as a striker in the youth teams and he's really thrived when given the opportunity. He's fast and very strong for a smaller guy and he's now developing a striker's instinct. Playing him and Martial as wide forwards could offer United a greater attacking potency from wide areas.
Now then.
Starting now.. Martial out. We might have to recall Ashley Fletcher and Nick Powell at this rate
No he's not.
Interested to see how he does. Another injury .. just incredible.
Surely Wilson has to be packing his bags as we speak?
He's injured too i think.. not 100% sure but he has been struggling for fitness for a while now due to illness and injury i think
hes gonna score a hattrick dont worry..
Good luck lad. Thrown into the deep end, in a game we need goals.
If it was me, I'd be f*cking bricking it.

Give'm hell kid. 
I'll go and get my shin pads then.
If it was you, I'd be f*cking bricking it.
Pfft. Better than Memphis.
Looks very good.
I like him.
At this rate, we should just stop warming up before games altogether. Won't have any players left by April.
not seriously suggesting to drop the warm-up btw.
He's done Well.
Quite dynamic a player but needs that Striker's instinct.

Very good display. Kept their CBs occupied.
Like to see him use his pace a little more, played well so far though.
Didn't feck about there! Debut goal.
Been good the entire game.
