On the other hand, it could have been instructions from Mourinho on who should take free kicks. Didn't see anyone complaining. But, I agree that Rashford and Martial should both put their heads down and think about being better footballers than already considering themselves to be great.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

He seems to behave more like a prima donna these days on the pitch, enraging at his teammates for misplacing passes and not to his feet
Yep, the way he had a go at Herrera, who had just put in an inch perfect slide tackle then put the ball into empty space for him to run into but Rashford checked his run. Not on.
Aye that’s a fair point.
The lad needs to be played centrally asap IMO, I do rate his hold up and link up play. It’s just a bit stale out left at the moment.
I still feel Martial is the talent that I have my hopes pinned on. I'll be very happy to see Rashford exceed expectations, but I just can't see him having too much potential. Martial on the other hand has loads of potential. Just needs to have a better attitude and a coach who will work with him individually to make him better.
I’m just hoping for the days that they stay behind after training to work on a strike partnership, which undoubtedly has potential, especially in a 352.
I’d love to see that, maybe swap Ibra for Lingard or an inform mata/mkhi
Not gonna happen unless Lukaku falls out of Mourinho's favor.I’m just hoping for the days that they stay behind after training to work on a strike partnership, which undoubtedly has potential, especially in a 352.

Will be great to see though. I'd even play Mata or Mkhi (whenever he's back in form) behind them.
That's how to strike a fecking football. The power and the movement in the air, just ridiculous. One of the best strikes I've ever seen. No joke.
This. His development in that department is frightening.
There is obvious improvement in his shooting, even in the free kicks. He has developed Ronaldo type shots. Bale also did it, he had different striking technique but all of a sudden he started to shoot like Ronaldo and scored lot of goals.
Hopefully he continues his development. Shooting like that from distance can be huge asset in tight games when we can't open up the game.

Yup it’s weird people don’t recognise this. He was never outpaced, their right back just stood off him and gave himself a few yards head start. There was one time that he appeared to match Rashford for pace but it was only because Rashford was accelerating from a standing position and carrying the ball and the fullback was already jogging back when they both hit the afterburners.
It’s just how a fullback should be playing at this level, always with a couple of yards played in his head. It’s something Blind excells at.
Hes quite skinny still, but my god does he have a rocket of a foot
Feck me i'd be unbelievably pissed off if I hit that shot and it hit the feckin' bar.
Though to be fair, if I hit a ball like that, it would probably be my greatest achievement in life... so I'd be pretty thrilled about it, though when I then realise that my greatest achievement in life resulted in absolutely nothing, well...that's Making a Murderer Season 2.

I'd be in the hospital after hitting a ball like that.
To generate that power from taking two step position is something else. If he's this accurate in training he should be given license to shoot on sight.
Why say something like that? I and I'm sure many other people have not even watched the first season yet so thanks for the spoiler

I like how one of the Bournemouth players stared at Rashford after the shot as if he was wondering where the feck that shot came from.
Came here to comment this. I love the kid, but he needs to reign that in quick smart. His attitude stank lastnite, he wasn't chasing down seemingly dead balls which he would have last season or the season before. Throwing his hands up petulantly, he seemed in a right mood.
Outrageous effort though!
West Brom 1:2 Man Utd
Sky Sports just noted he's the only United player to have played in all 27 games this season.
That's pretty impressive! would love to see him get a few more games upfront rather than on the left or right mind.

Still maintain he's an impact player.
His game is still too raw.

Delicious cross for the assist, well in Rashford.
His crosses are getting better with each month.
Wish he crossed it more because his crosses are probably the best in the squad.
His game is all about those individual moments these days.
He's been poor. Good cross though.
Pretty poor tbh bar the cross. I’d like to see him lead the line against Bristol City and sling him off at HT today for Martial who would have fun with Nyom/Hegazi.
This he let himself down there.
He has done his bit in this game. Martial time now.
He has flashes of brilliance like that. Once it all clicks he'll be a monster.
Yeah still only a kid these experiences will all help him grow
I think it will all click in a year or two and he will be in beast mode
He is too much like Hazard when games are "won". He never wants to do any extra work. So every pass to him will be going backwards.
I hate that mentality.
I hate that mentality.
He seems to be void of any joy playing as a winger. We should either play him as a striker or not. We should ideally brining him for Lukaku at 80 mins
Good cross for the first goal but didn't really have a good game, looks a bit frustrated.
Not a great game but a brilliant cross for the goal.
His output is fantastic. Even if he's not playing well he'll get you a goal or an assist.

Think it's a testament to he and Martial's ability that they are able to maintain producivity in an attack as uncohesive as ours. Week in week out they are expected to create match winning contributions and have delivered so far although through inconsistent performances.
Fantastic cross for Lukaku's goal.
He's been so selfish lately and he's not even trying to take on players anymore just passing sideways or backwards most of the time.
The forward line reminds me of the team last year......Struggles to put the ball into the net.I’m just hoping for the days that they stay behind after training to work on a strike partnership, which undoubtedly has potential, especially in a 352.
I’d love to see that, maybe swap Ibra for Lingard or an inform mata/mkhi
He looks disinterested. He doesn’t work as hard, is reluctant to take on his man and seems a little lost at times, lacking initiative.
