Yesterday game is perfect example of why Rashford shouldnt be compared to Lukaku.
Vs big clubs he scores, assists, creates chances, takes on defenders to unsettle the line, wins penalties taking on defenders on his own.
Ignoring all that and then just compare his goals per game when he was playing as winger for majority of the time and also as a sub is just awful argument.
Just take last season as example
Vs Chelsea, he scored goal from open play and also penalty which he won out of nothing.
Vs Leicester, he scored the pen which he won
Vs Liverpool, he scored goal from open play
Vs Spurs, he scored goal from open play and also penalty which he won out of nothing taking on multiple defenders
Vs City, he scored penalty which he won taking on multiple defenders.
Vs Chelsea in league cup, he scored penalty and also from freekick from around 30-35 yards
Vs City in league cup, he scored from open play
And he did most of these things without Pogba who was out for 3/4th of the season and before Bruno was signed. Even Martial was injured for few of the games, so he was playing alongside Lingard, Pereira, James.
'Ignoring penalties' is a very poor argument, he wins lot of penalties. So he plays big role in the outcome of the game.
This.
Compare this to Lukaku doing feck all in the league in the Jose days. Worse thing was, he was the teacher's pet, stayed in the lineup no matter how crappy he was playing and had the cheek to call out for his team mates to "man up."
Didn't even follow his own advice. The minute he wasn't the favourite once Ole took over, he wanted to leave.
