Excellent header and a good performance. I'm pleased he's coming back to his best.

current version of Rashford and last season version are 2 different players.
What a turnaround, long it may continue

Excellent performance, and somehow an average rating of 7.2 here from the agenda posters
One thing I dislike is when he is out wide and cuts in, he seems to rarely ever look for another player and tends to smash the ball not allowing another player to get onto the end of it.
Best performance in about 3 years
Great finish. Love a motivated and on song Rashers.
Excellent header, attacked it and it was brave. Still has moments that infuriate me but he is playing a lot better and looks hungry. Encouraging.
It was quite a refreshing interview. I can remember saying to friends on several occasions over the past year or so that he doesn't look himself and there could be something affecting him outside of football. We often forget that these players are young men and have the same mental struggles many of us have. Glad to hear he's in a better headspace now.
Never imagined that Rashford would become an aerial threat. Liking this development.
Will only take one bad performance for the usual suspects to return, convincing us he's never been a good footballer
Thundering header. He was a one-man attack today, the only one who could trouble WHU's defence. He's at a good place right now. The tactics help him play his natural game, he feels good, and his effort on the pitch has improved significantly.
I remember Rooney not being the best with his head early in his career then suddenly one year he was scoring them for fun with real conviction, pretty sure it was noted he had worked on it over the summer, wonder if Benny McCarthy has had the same effect on rashford and it’s something they’ve been working on! If so really adds another dimension to his game!
Really good header, didn't think he had that in him.
As a major critic of his I also never said he was a bad player. Just greedy and low energy, bad body language and not good enough to be the main attacker in a team that wants to win the league. He looks a lot better this season but I stand by my statement that he’s not consistent enough to not have to work really hard off the ball. If he keeps working hard off the ball the goals will come and he’ll enable others to play better too.
Looks like he has been working on that part of his game. His leap has improved a lot, and seems to be more eager to compete aerially.
He's definitely our most dangerous player.
There's an expectation now that something will happen when he's got the ball at his feet and there's space in front of him.

Wasn't even his best performance this season

First 60 mins was imo. Hasn't always been great at getting on the end of things and making runs to anticipate crosses and whatnot. Was yesterday. Good movement, good decision making. Lots of energy, lots of clever runs against a team sat pretty deep. Thought it was a convincing performance in a situation you might not always expect from him. Some of his finishing was wayward if i was going to be hyper critical.
The discussion did come up after the Villa game in Jan. I remember there was a ball in the box that he didn't chase. He just turned away and started walking. He was brought off and the camera showed him on the bench looking almost out of it. A lot of people started to discuss if his mental health was okay after that. One of my friends went to that match and he said the crowd were giving Rashford a tonne of abuse.
I love to see Rashford play well and score. Seeing a player from the academy winning us games is amazing.
I think and hope he is going to return to his 2019 form under this manager
The header was sexy
When did he learn to head the ball?
Can't find the article but I remember reading about Rashford raising the awareness on the link between header and dementia among football players.
Then on the anniversary of Nobby Stiles' death, he decided to head one of the most powerful headers in his career

The year that Rooney got his hair, he was so dangerous in header
Judging by his demeanour last season I think he may well have been clinically depressed. Great to see him playing well again and enjoying it too. Hope Martial is back soon- the both of them on form together would be sweet and dangerous.
Bullet header for the match winner. Was solid otherwise, but there is still room for more improvement.
Not sure if it has been mentioned but even the chance from Dalots cross prior to the goal, the way he met the ball with his head was not something you’d usually see.
Definitely has been working on his heading and it’s great to see. Especially after the abuse he’s endured over the last year or 2 it’s good he’s finally playing well again and hopefully can continue and improve.

He needs some rest though. Was visibly dead on his feet the last 15 mins.
Played well, and that bullet header was absolutely amazing.

Good to see him back to his best. Long may it continue!
he needs to be rested in Europa league (come on as a sub max).
I think it's not a coincidence when we still remember that last-minute miss against Newcastle and mostly agreed that heading ability was below average. The fact that he scored his last 2 goals with such powerful headers tells me that he received serious coaching for that part alone after the Newcastle game and is now reaping the rewards. Really good development indeed.
Yeah so wish he had this heading coaching before that Newcastle game because was such a frustrating 2 points dropped
fun fact, before 2 header goals this week, Rashford hadn't scored a header for 2 years and 10 months.
Thought he had a good first half but like the rest of the team faded and began to frustrate in the second half. Fantastic header, nice to finally see him adding heading to his game.
Been good watching him lately. His confidence is up, and he's running at people.
Of course his heading has also been a great plus. Always thought he had the physique to be a good header of the ball.
Looking like our best goal threat at the moment.

Marcus Rashford: "I need to be scoring a few more headers. Definitely [I've been working on it]. I feel that I've got a decent jump, I just need to work on attacking the ball and getting the initial contact." [Sky Sports]
Brilliant header, love that type of goal. Ronaldo-esque.
So much better recently and super achievement from him, 100 goals at 24. Keep going Marcus.

I’m glad he shut up his haters.
The hate he was getting was OTT.
Deserves a sorry.
Sell him my arse.
The only player other teams would be interested in - that’s why he would go.

Yeah I think it’s one thing he needs to work on, if he was to stay as a LW. There’s times where I don’t know if it’s a poor shot, or an overpowered cross.
