What a crazy player. He is amazing and he is a true local lad coming through. Good times
Van Dijk has it in the bag.Why just young?
Growing into his body? More likely he was bad because he was playing as a centre forward. He is good as left winger/left forward but not so good as the central striker in the system Ole was using.Seems his bad patch was him growing into his body more, what an amazing step up
Right now has to be the favourite to win it surely?Surely a shout for Premier League young player of the season.
Damn those are WC numbers18 G+A in 21 apps. Doing brilliantly.
Agree, he’s not playing out wide like Daniel James. He gets to scoring positions, I think that’s where he looks best as a wide striker, he doesn’t have the ability to retain the ball to play as a central forward but he has the speed and finishing ability to get goals as a wide striker.He's not really on the left, though. You could argue that Rashford's starting position is on the left, but he's playing the ball very centrally for the most part.
Mourinho used to try and play him as a winger. That's where he went wrong.
Ole has him as a wide-forward rather than a winger. Because Rashford has a lot more licence to get involved in the middle and in the box, he's getting on the scoresheet more often. It's not rocket science.
Definitely reminds me of Ronnie from the standpoint where I think he's a threat to shoot from anywhere on the pitch. Literally can take a turn and unleash from 30-40 yards with his technique.Ronnie esque. Best player since CR7 I love watching.
He did the right thing shooting early, the pass was perfectly weighed and the touch might have given the defender a chance to block.The chance he put wide in the first half was identical attempt he tried when he scored for England a few weeks ago, I think away against the Czechs after just coming off the bench. I thought he should take a touch today, but I can see he’s a great believer in practise and repetition, and went for the same first time sweeping finish that worked that day.
He came into the chance at incredible speed. It's always tough to get it right when you're running in like that. Angle was a little off and didn't stroke it quite enough. Most forwards aren't even getting that chance starting off so far behind the play.He did the right thing shooting early, the pass was perfectly weighed and the touch might have given the defender a chance to block.
He purely just messed his angles up this time that’s all. He scored one pretty similarly recently like this for United.
Honestly I didn’t think it was that difficult, martial would have scored it. Rashfords never really has the finesse shot in him but I’m sure he’ll improve on it.He came into the chance at incredible speed. It's always tough to get it right when you're running in like that.

That said, if he scores that one his transformation is complete and a ballon d'or awaits in the future. I hope he gets there.
The speed of Rashford's approach makes it difficult. If you're waiting for that pass, it's a dead easy chance but when you've broken land speed records to get there it's difficult to shift gears and get the touch just right.Honestly I didn’t think it was that difficult, martial would have scored it. Rashfords never really has the finesse shot in him but I’m sure he’ll improve on it.
his all round game was fantastic in the first half though, the pass to setup James first shot was something we never usually see from him. The confidence is flowing right now.
Im gonna put that down to him being played out of position, bar a little run as number 9 in Ole's early days Rashfords best games have always been from the left and this is what some people don't factor in when it comes to injuries it's not just the ones who are injured you miss but you loose out when you then also have to move players from their preferred position as well (well you do when you have as thin a squad as ours)His shot that hit the bar was sublime technique. Got the finish wrong for his big chance from Fred's pass immediately after he scored the penalty. Good play to win the penalty, though the challenge was both needless and reckless. Quiet 2nd half.
Type of match that suits him.
Having a strange season. Nightmare spell when we needed him to deliver while Martial was injured, then terrified most defences he has faced since the Liverpool match.
Hard to overstate how important a player he is for us.
He's young and finding his way. He's going through good and bad. Some forget he's still a young man making his way at top level.He’s been excellent lately - has he kicked on and reached another level?
He’s so good on the left.
@GifLord Please can we have a GIF of the pace Rashford shows when he misses the chance from Fred's pass, it is possibly the quickest I've ever seen a player move on the football pitch.
Quality quick incisive pass from Lingard in this build up.
Thanks, that is frightening pace.
If you pause the video from Giflord above, you can see that going for the far corner and actually beating Ederson would have taken a hell of a shot. It would have to be a perfectly cushioned, accurate shot on the floor with some pace inside the post because Ederson was positioned very well.Honestly I didn’t think it was that difficult, martial would have scored it. Rashfords never really has the finesse shot in him but I’m sure he’ll improve on it.
Yep, he’s just getting better all the time.Another good peformance. There's been a real spring in his step of late. His shooting in particular seems a lot more dangerous.
