I do think both are very good players, and I think they get slightly more stick than they should do, especially Rashford, but this was supposed to be that season for the pair.
Both ended last season with about 20~ goals and 10~ assists in all competitions, which was a good achievement and proved that they could take the mantle without Lukaku around. But this next season was supposed to be the one where they elevate their game and go from being pretty good, to being genuinely top 3 in their positions in the league.
Instead... Martial has 1 goal in 10 PL matches. Rashford’s statistics are pretty decent this season (6 goals and 4 assists in 14 PL matches) but the standard of performance is inconsistent.
Whilst he is a PL seasoned pro now, Rashford is still ‘only’ 23 — that’s about 5 years younger than Salah/Mane (the only wide attackers you’d say with some assurance are better than Rashford in the league).
