He has been literally brilliant so far. He seems to have so much to his game, it will be interesting to see which position he ends up playing in.
He's obviously great at playing up front on his own. But, imagine him with a proper number nine giving him space to play off? I could imagine Rashford dominating as more of a second striker just because his skill and pace is deadly.
Something like
---------number 9
---------------------Rashford
Lm-------CM-------CM----------RM
Could work brilliantly for him, it would take the goal scoring pressure off as well.
He could even play on the right side of a 433 but I think if he played like that or even as an "attacking mid" he'd excell.
Him and Martial will hopefully be here for years.

Fantastic angle of it! Was wearing his Ronaldo boots too

 

[Loon]

Please, Mourinho, give this lad his chance...

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

He might start for England tonight.

"I would have preferred to have avoided all the headlines that will come with a debut at such a young age and after such a meteoric rise, but I can't do that without either lying or trying to disguise intentionally with some sort of fog. At the moment, it looks like he'll be starting."
What a few months it has been for him.

I've only skimmed through the last few pages but....

Are people honestly thinking Mourinho, is going to sideline this guy, for no other reason, except that he's young?

Mourinho is finally at a club, where it's vital youth is given a chance.....I'd be the first fella to stick the boot in if he didn't but....Seriously....You really think Mourinho is stupid?

Yeah, the idea that rashford will be frozen out is silly.

Mourinho will not keep such a thin squad such that he has to rely on youth so much IMO. I expect him to blood less youngsters for that very reason. But those who have already shown their worth like rashford, CBJ and TFM will continue to get chances, even if it is in the EL and league cup. It's the McNair, Blackett types - who honestly aren't and never will be good enough anyway - who will suffer. Mourinho will play a below average senior player than hopefully throwing in fringe youngsters. I have no problem with that. But players who are good enough and have undeniable talent will get their chances.

I think Rashford will likely be the backup striker, tbh. Zlatan, rashford, then Rooney or Martial depending on other injuries/circumstances.

Agreed. Although, I wouldn't be surprised to see Rooney’s star fall this summer with both England and United.

I still find this whole Rashford/Mourinho thing incredible

He's not going to toss him aside because he's young.... However, I hope he doesn't play him consistently. I want this magnificent cnut to lead United for years.. I want him to become the face of the club..I dont want him to burn out by age 25. I wanna see him develop properly

 

[Bestie07]

What do you think this guy would be worth if he was breaking through at a club like Everton? I'd imagine the big clubs would probably wait to see how he did for another year before coming in with huge bids. We're so lucky to have him with us

 

[GledTheRed]

Full debut tonight, hope he blows up!

Good luck Rash lad

 

[ChaddyP]

must be so excited

 

[ivaldo]

The lad seems to be universally liked and rated, it's odd.

 

[Jazz]

Can't wait to see his England debut tonight. Excited for him. C'mon kid!

 

[Bwuk]

Beginning to wonder if Zlatan coming in could mean we play 442 with Rashford and Zlatan uptop sometimes

 

[paulscholes18]

Great goal, inside 3 min

 

[Americano]

What a start! And I didn't even want him on the team

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

What a start!! We have a superstar.

 

[Loon]

Apparently he "Sides foots it into the goal."

 

[Lennon7]

Rashford for the Euros!

 

[Xeno]

He's got a better international goals per game ratio than Messi, Ronaldo or Pelé.

 

[Irrational.]

He's one of our own

 

[Amadaeus]

Where the feck did he come from. Looks like he might become our Harry Kane.

 

[ivaldo]

He's just awesome.

 

[Vanrouge]

What a story he's become!

 

[Raw]

Such a shame that Mourinho's going to ruin his career.

[Sigma]

I would bet my house that he goes to the euros.

 

[Loon]

Mourinho better not feck this lad up.

 

[zzakzz17]

Didn't take him long did it

 

[Robbie Boy]

Hero.

 

[PvsNP]

Yup, he's going to the Euros.

Give him a chance Christ

Edit, git

 

[iammemphis]

People get it wrong. Mourinho is going to take ALL the credit for making him a world beater.

 

[Sigma]

Wikipedia has already updated

 

[Amar__]

So this was decisive game for him and he settles it in 3 minutes. Not bad.

 

[VeevaVee]

Does he have any weak points? Because all I've seen him do is tuck in goal after goal

 

[JPRouve]

Can he head the ball?

 

[Raw]

Scored with his first shot on his United debut, PL debut and England debut.

Give him a chance Christ

[VeevaVee]

Shite prick, messed that right up

 

[ChaddyP]

@GifLord i beg of you your magical Gif powers at this moment in time

 

[VeevaVee]

Can he head the ball?

I'm not even sure he's had the chance to yet.
