What was Rashford doing when Martial was injured? How has he been doing since Martial came back? Rashford benefits from Martial, but Rashford is not a player that elevates his team-mates in a similar way. You keep wanting to make a comparison between the two, so I'm responding in kind but I'm not looking to lose either of them and wanting Haaland has nothing to do with Martial, United needs more depth, been that way for a few years at the striker position.

Today is one of those games where you see Rashford still has a lot to improve on. Not many chances but he didnt do anything with what he did get, he should at the very least be forcing a save from that Lindelof pass.
You’ll notice that the most vocal Martial naysayers are the ones that always bring him into other threads, unprovoked. Then when they get called out, they pretend that others have an agenda. They’re obsessed.
Had some electric runs but the passes and shots at the end were the shits.
Can't do it all himself and needs to learn to control his frustration. When things aren't going his way he tries to over compensate with his shooting when there are better options available which makes him even more frustrated and his game goes out the window. He's still young so that experience will come and when it does we'll have a hell of a player on our hands.
He’s maturing well. During his journey he’s going to learn how to play in situations where kick and run is not a viable solution. He’ll learn how to manipulate space differently. Right now he just looks like a kid that can’t stop playing with his favourite toy - his shot.
Its nuts that this guy is still only 22. I do worry about burn out given the number of games he plays for us and England and us having to rely on him to either score or assist every game where hes not even main striker.
Man Utd 3:0 Colchester
Is he drunk tonight?
I don’t understand how his level can drop so much after looking like starting to become a top player. I hope it’s just his age.
Does not want to be there tonight and for the life of me I don’t know why he is.
Shouldn't this thread be closed at the mo?
Main thread says the match hasn't started yet
Best player in the country on current form
How many goals do we think he’ll get for the season, in all comp?
His goals scoring record looks great. Will break the 25 goals easily this season as long as he stays fit. Definitely our player of the season.
That's not what people were saying first half
His finishing is constantly improving, also plenty of room to grow into, but you can't train a player to have the movement in and around the box and get as many clear cut chances like he can. It's instinctive and once his finishing does improve, going to be an easy 20-25 goal a season left forward/ winger.
20-25 this season, but think he will begin to consistently hit over the 20 goal mark over the coming seasons. His rise of maturity over the last 12 months has been staggering. Once his finishing improves, which it has already under Ole, ( apparently you can't train finishing
) he will be scary going forward.15 goals already, amazing.
Especially considering how bad we've been
Abysmal first half but came to life in the second with a goal and assist. He still seems like the player who can grow a few levels
Glad he beat his previous seasons best as quickly as he did and from that point of view it was smart of Ole to play him tonight. I was worried he was going to be stuck in 13 goals for weeks or until we next got a pen
Hopefully now beating his previous best isn't a thing he can continue to play with complete freedom starting this weekend

Once again a game that he should have had a hattrick in. Hopefully, we won't be saying that when he's fully ironed out mistakes by 26/27.
Beating his best record before Christmas. Hopefully the penny has dropped and he will be a consistent scorer for us for many years.
The talent is undeniable.

Can see him netting another 10 before the end of the season. If we didn't experiment with him as a lone striker down the middle he might have had an even more prolonged run of form.

Very humble of him to acknowledge the effort shown by the Colchester players.
Its strange because he's bagged 15 goals already but I do feel he needs to work on his composure more, there was a few chances he snatched at.
Game of 2 halves for him, as well as for the team. Good stats though.
Think Pereira put him 1-1 2 times. Should have scored 1 more goal.

Dedication like that will take him to the top. He's entered a higher echelon this season
I'm just out here to steadily watch Rashford's goal tally go up
Still needs to concentrate more.
I like his trajectory now, but the simplest things he tend to feck up for no reason.
That's just the negative comment i have about him, go on Rashy, we count on you.

People are fecking bipolar on these boardsThat's not what people were saying first half
I know that RvP only spent a few good years with us, but feels like he's one of us already. Just like what I felt about Forlan. It's just weird.
He's definitely our guy.
Loved the urgency in his body language from the first minute. Spread throughout the team and stamped out any intention of the tumescent slow starts we usually suffer.
