In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's emphatic 4-1 win over Chelsea at Old Trafford and celebrate Manchester United being back in the Champions League. They also discuss United Women, takeover latest and transfer rumours before previewing the FA Cup Final vs. Manchester City.
Doesn't Rashford have 3 against Spurs? 2 tonight and his 1 away at Wembley during Ole's initial winning run.
Did you look at the time stamp of that post?
Wow has he really not netted against Arsenal since his debut? Swear he had 2/3 more against them.
Opponent | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
|---|---|---|---|
Liverpool | 7 | 3 | 0 |
City | 6 | 2 | 0 |
Chelsea | 10 | 5 | 2 |
Arsenal | 5 | 2 | 2 |
Spurs | 4 | 3 | 0 |
15 in 32. That is excellent really.
Whats his record against the other 14 teams in the pl out of interest?
Hes virtually 1 in 2 against the top 6 but i dont get the feeling he is averaging that against the others.

For a 22 year old it is outstanding
Can't imagine anyone is going to sit and do the math for you on that if you can't be bothered to do it yourself and tbh it's irrelevant given the turnover in the sides traditionally found in the bottom half the table
Looking at the current other 14 sides in the league though I don't believe he's ever scored against Everton, Southampton, Burnley or Palace. I can remember goals against all the others
When I was watching him last night he was outstanding, best Ive seen him play I think. The progress is real.For a 22 year old it is outstanding
Yeah, it's one of his best games. But he's had quite a few great games. And he's looked great for England in a more balanced setup too. Unlike many other players, he's always grafted and given 100%. I've no doubts he'll only get better as the attitude seems to be perfect. I've often thought he's been excellent just for the sheer hard work he's given when the team as a whole has been pretty average.
As soon as we've got a threat on the opposite flank in James, Rashford starts enjoying more freedom. Similar to England. Imagine how his game will progress in front of a top midfield and a capable left back
And another.
fantastic. This is why Martial and Rashford have the trust of the manager instead of lardarse Lukuku.
Not scoring but winning the penalty and the gorgeous shot that hit the crossbar. I am going to start putting £20 on him as first goalscorer every time we play a top 6 team.
Been really impressed by how he's come back from this operation he had. Also, he was injured for most of last season even if he was playing. There's always the worry when a player is out for so long or has been unfit for a while that they're going to take ages to regain full fitness. But he has looked incredibly sharp when he has played this season.
The reason I'd start him against City.
It’s the big 6 these days I guess as top 6 over the last few years Leicester is above Arsenal.
But it’s like Spurs under Poch they finished top 4 or ahead of us more than not yet we are still miles bigger.
I know that that wasn't your point, but just to bring a little more positivity into the thread, Rashford also has 6 goals against Leicester.
The key thing with Rashford is that he is as cool as a cucumber. I doubt his pulse raises an extra beat in front of goal.
What I would say about our 2 young diamonds up front is that they will learn a lot about decision making from our elder statesmen

nice a true top 6 scorer then
Nah he's shit, takes 6 chances to score a goal according to the experts on here (scoring with his first chances against Leicester & Spurs doesn't count)
Rashford is pacey player who requires space to run into. The reason he has such a good record against the Top 6 is because of the space he is afforded to run into(they don't park the bus like a lot of teams do).
Under a better manager who can coach the players to find space Marcus would turn WC over night.

Haven't added to his record in ages, 6 goals against Liverpool now.
2/2 this season
He didn't score against Brighton...
Anybody who can update the OP here? 1 v liverpool, 2 v Arsenal this season.
Big game player, always
This is the guy, big game player.
Always loves a goal against the gooners.
First time he's scored against them since his debut actually.
They were probably the only "big" side he had a bad record against but today has sorted that out.
I can but I have no idea what the new numbers are I’ve lost track
Surprised at that! Always thought he scored a few against them.
His debut goals were brilliant though.
There's a post above from October last year with up to date I think it might just be Liverpool and todays 2 to add?I can but I have no idea what the new numbers are I’ve lost track
Damn it, I mised my chance to put him in my fantasy team on the cheap.
Just checked Twitter as someone was bound to have posted an update:
Thanks - done!
The bile thrown at this guy on here is so misplaced.
