Imo it's the last match against Omonoia which gives you that illusion. Truth is Rashford usually plays pretty well against those small teams. He can terrorise their defenders simply with his pace and power. For example in the first match against that same Omonoia Rashford came on as a sub and scored like almost immediately showing Ronaldo how easy it was. The last match against Omonoia was actually the match when Rashford started his current dry spell. Imo we can't use that single match when he was probably at his lowest finishing form to judge him.But likewise I see Rashford not look great against teams in europa league who are levels lower than the teams in Eredivise. Also Rashford plays in a team which is significantly better than PSV so naturally gets more supply and opportunities. The chances Rashford had against Newcastle and spurs, I would fancy Gakpo to finish a couple of them at least. It’s all ifs and buts.
If ETH insists on us signing him, then I fully trust his judgment much more than my own or any other fans.
Imo like you many of our fans don't understand how good Rashford actually is or his current level simply because most of our fans often only watch United and don't watch other teams and especially other leagues. If he plays for a lesser team he'd cost us easily £150m or even more with his current CV especially in the big matches. And the caf would be drooling over his crazy highlights and CV.
It's difficult to explain but tbh when I watch the highlights of this lad I feel he's simply slower, less explosive and less powerful than Rashford. Especially when the tempo of the situations in those highlights is quite slow too. The PL is simply much much faster. There's also so many instances where they cut the replay to keep just the good part and left out what's next which is the part when he fecks up I'd say. He seems still very raw imo.
