Always been a huge fan. Still is. But nothing wrong in saying that he should improve his lower body strenght. He is very skinny compared to a lot of top strikers.
It is the only thing I can see preventing him from becoming world class.

Mate, we have had to ditch players because they added body weight. Memphis and Lukaku come to mind.
And you think we now need another player to "bulk up".
Rashford is fine as he is. Opposing defenders are scared of him. If he purposely bulks up, he'll probably turn to shit, will be benched and eventually sold.
The modern footballer, has to be slim, agile and light - waif-like. There are some posters on this forum who seem to believe that wrestlers make great footballers...which they don't.
Imagine if Rashford was able to learn and apply all the tricks Solskjaer want to teach him. The physical and technical attributes of Rashford with the mind of a babyfaced assassin makes up one hell of a player honestly. Rashford is the type of guy that wants to be the best, it seems like he emulates Ronaldo in a few areas like training and learning so it is not inconceivable to believe that the current manager can be influential in the matter of his progress.
Number one he has to be clinical in front of goal if he ever wants to be a top striker. He's very wasteful with the chances he has.
Then he has to improve his strength, dribbling, & vision to be a world class forward. I've got faith in him, but he's still young and needs 3-4 seasons to develop.

Not really but his best form of his career has come in an England shirt in my opinion. Between 2012 - 15 he got 13 goals in 29 games at international level.
First and foremost the modern footballer has to be extremely fit. But when you compare the lower body of Rashford and C. Ronaldo, Bale, Firmino, Kane, Aguero, Lewandowski etc there is a huge difference.Mate, we have had to ditch players because they added body weight. Memphis and Lukaku come to mind.

And that is not to say that a footballer should look like a wrestler. But you make a great example of how the average poster struggle to understand that there is middle ground and love to polarize discussions.
Not true he was top class at PSV and had a major injury for a year
Yet he's just Danny Welbeck according some deluded posters on this forum.
You can clearly see him developing as a player as the video goes on. Even physically he looks a lot different.
My lord - the Rashford highlights got hard to watch the moment Jose became our manager; just pure boring . The style of football & it's effect on Rashford was a waste of time.
He can still be a bit of a headless chicken and needs to be more imposing physically but feck me he's ahead of the curve at 20. I hope he works on his weaknesses and evolves to the next level.
Under Ole or Poch's guidance I reckon he will.

Rashford playing on the left has helped him...
Watching that video is heartwarming. There’s a goal missing though (possibly in the cup, maybe against West Ham?) where he curls it right into the top corner from twelve yards out or so. Anyone have a link to this or remember the goal?
Not for 2 & a half seasons - maybe for a single season at max.
The video clearly shows that he was the type of striker who was a 'lethal' striker for his age & his breakout season.
Ever since Jose - we have been wondering if he can get that lethal strikers ability & positioning back that we all saw during the first season.
I'm sure he will - but that's what I mean by Jose's time being a waste of time as he progressed minimally.
Martial on the other hand works 100% harder on the pitch on and off the ball in comparison to how he was - and definitely improved under Jose.
Rashford has developed more than Martial imo. Rashford's breakout season was a very small sample size, we started to see his limitations after that year. He is getting stronger, probably taller now as well. Him playing at LF would have helped his movement and how he attacks defences with the ball at his feet as well. It's making him a much more rounded footballer. The stuff such as his striking technique from range is something we didn't see in his first season either.
What you can say though is Martial started at a better base than Rashford did so it would naturally be more difficult for Anthony to develop his game further. Rashford was also younger.
I go to England games and I still had to look that up to check it was true, cos it seemed way too many cos I genuinely don’t remember any of them, bar the winner against Sweden...
But it’s true so ... fair play.
Tottenham 0:1 Man Utd
Game winning finish, but I'm sure the usual suspects will come in with faint praise and scepticism as always.
Top player in the making.
Still does lots of daft things...which is to be expected from a 21 year old

Magnificent finish. Unplayable at the moment and our long term striker.
Good from from Rashford, shows his versatility in moving to the left. Perhaps a little naive at the end in trying to get a second, but most of the team was a little naive at times. Great finish. Well done.
He was so tired in the end.
He probably needs to leave.
Feck everybody who called Rashford the new Welbeck.
The boy is legit going to be an excellent footballer. I and a select others always knew it. What a goal and performance against a top class opposition.

Getting close to being my player of the season.
Far, far ahead of Lukaku.
Finish! This kid is the real thing. Proper Ole finish too: guided into the only place it could go. Earlier in the season he was blasting those wide.
Game vs Arsenal still puts smile on the my face when i remember it, there is nothing like it.
Rashford is better than him at pretty much everything, and hes younger and hes homegrown. Its really no contest
This kind of thing is so annoying - I mean, really what's the point? But yes, Rashford is fantastic.
What are you now, some sect that claim only a given number of people will go to heaven or something. Chill mate and enjoy. I'm sure most on here were always his big fans but the times were hard and plenty were much frustrated.
Rashford:
1 chance = 1 goal
Kane:
5 chances = 0 goals

Sorry if I caused offence. I am just passionate about Rashfords potential ever since he broke onto the scene in 15/16.
To be fair to Kane, Rashers didn’t have to face a demi-godRashford:

Kane:

It looks like Ole's coaching is really helping Rashford with his finishing.
Rashford's story feels like a fairy tale. Excellent player, he comes right from our academy aswell. It doens't get any better than this.
