I get that but scoring against Newcastle’s defence is probably a better accomplishment than Chelsea these days. Having said that he did it this season as well at Wembley.
Rashford's record against the top 6

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Like goals vs Leicester who were champions once and maybe relegated now
It should be top 6 of that season without specific teams mentioned.
What's the typical 'top 6' these days @FootyGirl88?
Ridiculous big game player. Goals against Barcelona and PSG multiple times, too.
Chipping in on the top 6 talk. It should really be the big 6. The biggest 6 teams in the country. Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, City, Spurs.
Spurs in danger of losing that status to Newcastle.

Correct.
Remember when Spurs had the audacity to be included in the Super League as one of the big six
Proper big game player. Regularly has a tangible impact in our biggest games.
It’s really remarkable and not talked about enough. Vardy got more plaudits for it, time for Rashford to get his.
Lethal.
Apart from the goal, he's been shit. Overrated beyond belief.
Where does he rank against other strikers in this table?
The agenda against Rashford on here and some other places is absurd at times.
Since the start of last season, he has scored in three matches against Arsenal, scored the winner against City, scored a crucial 2nd goal against Liverpool, scored against Chelsea, scored against Barcelona away and scored in a cup final.
He's our most important player.
He seems to get more abuse, compared to some others, because he's homegrown. It's bizarre.

Another one. Yes, he missed a great chance to end it in 90 minutes. Yes, he's had a poor season.
But he has managed to get goals vs. Arsenal, Spurs, City and Liverpool this season.

Rashford is a huge big game player.
It can’t be ignored. I so want to love Rashford. But wow he makes it difficult.
Couple of big misses but look at Haaland, even the most elite of strikers miss even easier chances
Not at all.
with hojlund back an him on the left he will come good again. happy for him and the whole team.
It’s crazy. The teams he’s scored most against in his career in order are Leicester, Liverpool, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs. He’s the opposite to Lukaku
Yeah, it's crazy. Probably has to do with us playing more counter-attacking football against the top sites (albeit not today) which suits his skillset more than games where we have to break down a compact team.
He's scored 7 in 9 versus Liverpool which is some record.
Does this mean Rashford "owns" Van Dijk, like they say Torres did with Vidic?
He absolutely does. His lack of effort and attitude *at times* is appalling. He has everything to be world class if he just put forth consistent effort.
Has a better record than Torres does by a good amount
He's a bit like Vardy when it comes to big games.
Klopp loves him, if Klopp goes to Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern in a couple of years, he’ll bid for Marcus, seriously loves him. Even today in his interview he said he caused Liverpool problems with his pace.
For our shit-eating, ex-scouse clown of a friend, special price of £120m
Have to agree to disagree mate.
Bunch of armchair psychologists looking for a person to blame & always will be with the boy. He doesn’t make you anything you don’t chose to be.
Whatever your opinions of him, you cannot deny that he's consistently and incredibly productive in games against high profile opponents in crunch situations.
No one would be world class in this team over the last 10 years
You also over state his talent. He is a good player but not up to carrying teams to titles he was less talented than Martial and Pogba.
He is a good player who should be supported by better players.
Im not going to comment on his perceived attitude. He had a good season last year not good one this year. His inconsistency is the main issue but people criticised better players than him for the same (e.g Nani)
Fact is the club shouldn’t have given him a crazy contract but we are where we are
For all his weaknesses. His biggest strength is he tends to score vs the biggest opponents. Plus in big matches
* 7 v Liverpool
* 6 v Arsenal
* 6 v Spurs
* 6 v Chelsea
* 6 v City
Then we have some big goals & performances against the likes of PsG & Barca also.
Then there’s the league cup final last season and that massively important away goal in the semi final of our Europa League win. Think he’s been dealt a bad hand, in a fully functioning top side he’d be brilliant, he’s just not so good he can rise above it when we’re shite.

He doesn't need better players to make an effort and make better decisions on the ball. Thd team for years has been built to maxinise his gifts. He has only used it to his advantage in like 2 of 8 seasons
He has been around for like a decade, surely faced them more than that?
No player carriers the team to titles, it's a team game. Very Good team and great coach is what it takes to win the titles.
KdB is awesome player and City won league with 99 points when he missed almost all season.
I know. I am saying that this has been the expectation of him (as per last season) and its not sustainable. Same happened to other players.
We have seen consistent decline of our better players for the same reason. Pogba, Bruno etc
Great point.
And also look just how poor many Liverpool players were last season when the collective went through a bad time.
