I feel with Jose gone and a proper attacking Manager he is going to benefit the most.

And a manager that rates him highly. This is Rashford's time to shine.

There won't be a better opportunity to cement himself as undisputed no.9 at the club under Ole. With the run of fixtures this festive season, it's now or never.
Yep, think he has a huge opportunity under Ole. Good luck kid.
He should definitely let Ole know that he wants to play as a number 9 and that he doesn't want to be wasted on the wing. Only rubbish strikers get shunted out wide. That would go down well.
I think we'll look back at this Christmas period as his turning point. Rashford has everything bah that lethal finish - who better to coach him than OGS. Great match.
Predicting a scoring run for the beak.

Need to see his England form for United now. As many have said, the main difference seems to be his confidence in an England shirt, which most likely comes from the manager. Guess we'll see if Mourinho really was holding him back now.
Dont think he needs a turning point... he's been good and along with Martial our most dangerous players. Maybe (hopefully) turning point in taking the next step up to being top players and consistent, but hes still young so we'll see... but Ole loves him I'm pretty sure, so hopefully we see him used properly.
1 thing I have to say is that I generally dont think hes suited to playing the lone role up top, and has looked lost when he has. Could be just as a lone striker under Mourinho that it was the case, and that a different style could make him work up there alone, we'll see. Still hoping we play him with Martial in the middle as a front 2 as our future striker partnership.
His form for England has been exaggerated, and let's not forget international football isn't anywhere near as competitive as the PL.
It's about time people would stop making excuses for Rashford
The games against Spain were as competitive as any Premier League game.
He also has 2 goals and 4 assists in his last 5 United games with higher workrate than any other player.
Weird time to be having a go at him.
Hoping Ole uses him as a left wide forward. If played there consistently, I think he could pick up bags of goals.

We need more quality up front. I would rather see Sanchez than Rashford or Lukaku at the #9 position.

Makes me so happy seeing players like him succeed.
Come on Marcus

Keep going and fulfill all your potential
He has been our best player for about a month now. The striker position is his to lose at the moment.
Best performance he's ever had as a lone striker IMO, though also evidence that if you have an attacking system with enough people supporting him then he can be quality as a lone striker as well.
He's been brilliant this past month or so, really coming into his own and playing with confidence, sky's the limit if he keeps this up.
So excited about him, we have an ace. Such a shame about that save. And his all around game a striker is getting more impressive from game to game.
Some of his link-up play today was brilliant, should be our main choice striker going forward
Last 2 years of his development hindered by the desire to play long to physical targets.
He is going to be coached for 6 months by one of the best finishers the PL have ever had.
I'm hopeful that will transform into the number 9 we lacked these last few years.

Hard to see how Lukaku fits in to this style of play. Rashford on the other hand seems tailor-made for it.
Too bad he didnt finish after that fantastic run from Lindelof.. he could have even cut it back to Lindelof but he was always going to take that shot. Loved the moments between him and Martial too.
There's no way Lukaku gets over him.
He was great today. He would be better than Lukaku simply because he seems to do everything at a much quicker pace and has a lot better movement. If we need good hold up play in game, just move Martial up top.
Continues to impress, so happy for him.
Lukaku doesn't fit in this style of play anyway.
He will be phased out depending on the manager like BEnteke was at Liverpool.
I keep his decision making has improved 10x across the pitch. No more running out with the ball or trying to impress someone with skill move. He's just being .... effective. With his shooting technique and better decision making, we've got a absolute monster in our hands.
I was going to say the same thing. Even without an open play goal, he is far more important for the team, he presses, makes runs, he is fast and his good in combinations. He just needs to improve his 1v1 finishing.
Should've laid it off for Lindelof.
Overall a great performance from the local lad.

His link up play is improving so much. Some of his first time passing, just like Lingards, was brilliant today, and it was all down to the amount of players we had in attacking areas.
Very intelligent free kick, putting in between the space left by Matic. Ronaldo-esque.

What a performance. THAT was Rashford at the same level when he broke through in 15/16. World class potential.
He has been practicing knuckle ball free kicks since last year.
About time it came to fruition.
Don't know what's happened over the last month, but he has really upped his game and has become the focal point of our attack. Great to see.
I think he finally settled in with his fuller muscles and higher physicall abilities. Maybe last year he was getting used to it and messed up with his first touches and everything.
Now I think he got that belief that he can be the main man.
Agreed.
He's off to a good start. Now he just needs to kick on from here! The next couple of weeks could really be the making of him as an undisputed first choice player.
Exciting times!
Outstanding today. He’s becoming more consistent in terms of performances throughout the entire game.
Love him.
Yeah that is a possibility. Hoping he keeps the form going.
He was exceptional.
His shot at times is really Ronaldo-esque.
