Some here hoping he won't start vs Liverpool. Fantastic..
To think that's what they got out of the match against Palace. Seriously embarrassing posts here.Some here hoping he won't start vs Liverpool. Fantastic..
I think this was a show off type of skill. Of course he could have easily headed but went for the showboat instead.Is he scared of heading?
Considering the alternative would be Martial, they have a point. You make it sound outrageous.Some here hoping he won't start vs Liverpool. Fantastic..
Yup.Incredible the criticism this lad gets.
Yes it is outrageous. Its not that Marcus is a trash player or something but some are wishing him getting ropped. Ridiculous.Considering the alternative would be Martial, they have a point. You make it sound outrageous.
What?I get the feeling Jose is somewhat required to start Rashford when Pogba or Lingard aren't starting due to the grownups in the first XI record. For instance, if we had someone else starting in any other role, I'm sure Martial would start most games over Rashford.
I think OP is mistaken, it's a record that was ended in 2011 by Ferguson. Up until 2011 there was a player from the youth system in every single starting XI for 73 years.What?
And in their famous, trophy-laden Manchester United careersYup.
He and Martial are going to push each other on to really special things this season.
An outrageous theory based on a record that isn't even what we have now. Incredibly likely I think, Mourinho really loves Martial but just isn't allowed to play him because the club won't let him.What?
Used to play at no 10 before he stepped up to u18s. He used to be tiny so he developed a decent sense of space and movement to get on the ball, but he doesn't have the close control, decision making or variety in his short passing to be world class at the position, in my opinion.I do wonder if longer term he can be developed as a 10, he's showed glimpses of a really good ability to drop deep and pick difficult passes through the lines and we've even seen him switch the play with diagonals. If his shooting continues to develop I can envisage him taking Mkhitaryan's role with Martial on the left. Thing is Rashford's close control would need to improve but he's already improved so much from when he first came into the team that I think he can do it.
I don't intend to start another episode. But Rashford has José's trust ahead of Martial, be it for right or wrong reasons. But we're winning. So, it should remain as it is.Don't start that now, because it's simply not true and why the Martial thread is blowing up every day. Rashford simply has played significantly more without being a more impactful player than Martial, which is why there's a lot of Martial vs Rashford talk on the caf.
Not likely, he'll end up central like how we started him in his breakthrough season.Used to play at no 10 before he stepped up to u18s. He used to be tiny so he developed a decent sense of space and movement to get on the ball, but he doesn't have the close control, decision making or variety in his short passing to be world class at the position, in my opinion.
Long term the decision making could improve substantially but I doubt he will add to his passing skills. He would be no more than functional-to-good in an attacking sense, or an option as 'defensive no 10' similar to Welbeck when he played there for us.
His long term position will be more advanced once he physically matures in his early 20s. Think the Cristiano Ronaldo type forward, starting wide and coming in to exploit his pace and strength.
That whole play from him was excellent. Then the two assists.
Apparently Mbappe still passes the ball with his feet, the loser...
It is strange I think. He has had a great start to the season yet people don't give him much praise. Granted he wasted some chances against both West Ham and Swansea, but he still played well. Good performance from the bench against Leicester. Then had some weaker games in the league, but did well in the cups. Then a great game against Palace.For some bizarre reason he isn't getting the recognition he should be getting this season.
He started 7 games this season, in that:
- He assisted the first goal vs West Ham
- Scored first goal vs Stoke
- Assisted first goal vs Palace
- Scored first 2 goals vs Burton
Came off the bench against Leicester and scored our first goal.
So in the league alone he either created or scored first goal in 4 matches out of 7, that' a fantastic record for a 19 year old playing as winger.
Then you add his England form, he started 1 game and he assisted first goal and score the second goal (winner) vs Slovakia.
To be fair, people have good intention in well being of a player. Welbeck starts scoring and assists then an injury await around the corner.Imaging being a 'United fan', yet being disappointed that a teenage local lad is scoring/assisting, because it may mean one of your favorite may not start the next game.
Lukaku is our Kane! But yes, agreed. Hopefully he can continue flourishing from wide positions, as Kane and Lukaku at country and club level seem to have locked down the central striking positions for years to come.The kid's best attribute is his mentality and it's a sure thing as any that he will go far. Simply an amazing prospect when you actually think of what he has achieved and how much he can still improve.
He could be our Kane.
It won't happen at least until Zlatan is back.Surely the question isn't if Martial or Rashford is the better player but how to play them both simultaniously.
Welcome my friend.That skill he pulled before assisting Mata was great, he's going to be some player when he finds consistency. I'm also starting to like him a lot as a winger.
