I think he's on course to be the club's record goalscorer, fingers crossed.
It would be great if he goes on to achieve that, a youth product holding the record. Or anyone not scouse!I think he's on course to be the club's record goalscorer, fingers crossed.
Amen.It would be great if he goes on to achieve that, a youth product holding the record. Or anyone not scouse!
Redcafe says different stats"Marcus Rashford has been directly involved in 14 goals in all competitions for United this season (eight goals, six assists) - just one fewer than he was in 53 games in 2016-17 (11 goals, four assists)."

Progress
He's 20.It's easy to forget he's not long turned 19. I think some people are a little harsh or perhaps were. He brings a lot to the team with his energy and movement.
3-4-3 with Rashford and Martial roaming behind Lukaku. Pogba and Matic in midfield, Young and Valencia wing-backs, Rojo, Smalling +1 at CB and De God in goal.Again, simple but effective. I wish Jose could find a stable system to have trio Rashford - Lukaku - Martial all on the pitch together so badly. The day we solve this math, we'll become unstoppable
Needs a rollicking at half time. Wasting chances. Breaking down silly moves with flicks to nowhere. Overhitting that easy through ball to Lukaku. Not crossing for Herrera. Lost the ball for their goal too didn’t he? Poor so far either way.
Lukaku getting stuck non stop. Whilst Rashford has been miles worse and in a non arsed mode.
He's been shite again tonight. He makes some really stupid choices on the pitch at times. I'm sure he'll learn with time.
What a garbage first half by him.
He's certainly lacks technical skill at a certain point and that become apparent when he go to take on a defender in front of him. A bit much like Lukaku he is
I can't believe some people think he is as good as Mbappe. He has a lot to learn still.
Think he's been excellent today.. really dangerous and generally pretty consistent with his decision making. Looks to have some fire back in his belly - good to see!
his dribbling was out of this world today. Really loved his display, what a talent !
He was good just needs to raise his head more often to assess his options in the final third, if he can improve that aspect he can an absolute star.
Excellent performance today. The goal was deserved for him for that performance. That said he somewhat needs to work on his 1 vs 1 finishing.
Can't believe some of the comments in here. Expectations of a forward his age have become very twisted indeed.
He was a real threat and got on the scoresheet. A striker's job
I missed the match, but what the feck do I think about his performance judging from those comments? Very extreme reactions.So sharp, so dangerous. God help us all if he gets his decision-making up to speed.
Bad first half, quality second half.I missed the match, but what the feck do I think about his performance judging from those comments? Very extreme reactions.
Cheers. Someone said he's a bit like Lukaku. This place sometimes.Bad first half, quality second half.
All honestly I don't know why people are very harsh on him. Once he does something wrong he gets doomed like missing a chance in first half. At least they should wait till the end of the game!I missed the match, but what the feck do I think about his performance judging from those comments? Very extreme reactions.
Honestly thought it was his most positive overall performance in some time and he looked a threat throughout even in first half. Typical moments of overrunning the ball and missing chances but very few and far between and in general our most exciting performer in an attacking sense. He was playing like he had a point to prove.I missed the match, but what the feck do I think about his performance judging from those comments? Very extreme reactions.
A lot of threads/posts after that one bemoaning his inconsistency/poor decision making, believe me!
As @bosnian_red said. Wonderful talent and we all hope he progresses to the elite level we know he can be. But he has so many frustratingly wasteful moments in games too. It got to me last night and I should have stayed patient and not posted tbf.I missed the match, but what the feck do I think about his performance judging from those comments? Very extreme reactions.
Hate these kinds of posts and just further divides fans into different camps.Martial could have the exact same first half and would be praised because at least he's having a go but somehow its garbage when Rashford causes a lot of trouble but just doesn't find the end finish.
It was like watching Ronaldo at times last night. His powerful running, powerful shooting and the way he uses his pace reminds me of Ronaldo a lot. If he ends up being half as good as Ronaldo then we're sorted.It’s scary (in a good way!) how much this thread reminds me of Ronaldo threads when he was the same age...
He had a great game. I don't understand some of those posts above. He was a constant threat and our biggest threat all game.I missed the match, but what the feck do I think about his performance judging from those comments? Very extreme reactions.
Yes he was a constant threat, looked very lively last night and his goal was well taken. I understand the concerns over his finishing too though, he seems to miss so many one on ones it can get frustrating.He had a great game. I don't understand some of those posts above.

It depends on the poster. There’s plenty who would lambaste Martial if he had a first half like Rashford‘s just have a look at the Martial thread. There’s also many who would have said it was good in all fairness. Player judgments tend to the extremes, one is either great or shite rarely something in the middle.Martial could have the exact same first half and would be praised because at least he's having a go but somehow its garbage when Rashford causes a lot of trouble but just doesn't find that finish.
His finishing was okay. Many of those chances came on his weaker foot. Hit the bar with one effort and scored an impressive finish. The frustrations yesterday came from constantly killing counters/promising attacks with questionable decisions.Yes he was a constant threat, looked very lively last night and his goal was well taken.

Ive no issue with his link up play as thats bound to improve.His finishing was okay. Many of those chances came on his weaker foot. Hit the bar with one effort and scored an impressive finish.

He's constantly improving. At one point last season he only ran with his head down and wouldn't have made that finish with his left but his link up play while in motion still needs a lot of polish. For now it's limiting his effectiveness on countersIve no issue with his link up play as thats bound to improve.
A couple of misses brought the love-Martial-hate-Rashford crowd crawling out the woodwork. But even on those misses, his movement to get away from his defender was very good.I missed the match, but what the feck do I think about his performance judging from those comments? Very extreme reactions.
It's so funny how the Martial and Rashford fans say and sound the exact same. I've read that quite a bit about Rashford on the Martial thread.Martial could have the exact same first half and would be praised because at least he's having a go but somehow its garbage when Rashford causes a lot of trouble but just doesn't find the end finish.
We should just be extremely happy that we're fortunate to have 2 such young attacking talents, one an academy product.It's so funny how the Martial and Rashford fans say and sound the exact same. I've read that quite a bit about Rashford on the Martial thread.
