It worked out great with him on the right. Exciting talent.

Impressive again. Looked our most potent attacking threat.
Looked exciting even on a quite night.
Wonderkid.
Too much of a small sample size to make a judgement but two things that stand out: Pace and finishing. He's really fast.
Great to see defenders back off him and giving him so much respect. Clearly he has got the ability to beat his man.
Showed that he also has potential wide right. Played as well as he could given the service and opportunities he had. He is so fast - imagine what he'll be like once he has filled out. Looking like quite some talent
Expectations that he's going to score every game can ease down a bit now, but a promising performance.
Possibly time to take him out of the starting lineup now. That was 3 starts in a week! Maybe Lingard's greater defensive nous will be what's needed against the Brom.

The kid is pure gold, pretty sure of that.
The pace might reduce if he fills out, but for now he looks really promising.
At least he's another option for Louis van Gaal even off the bench and throw Adnan in there and the fact Rooney still has a brace on, it's up to the manager to make the right call, we need to get a front four that can gel and we have a genuine chance at top four with two good cup runs.
Lukaku Martial and Rashford as a front-three being fed by Mata.
Well that's that settled on where everyone needs to play then.
Reminiscent of a young Martial.
When he gets his man strength he will be a beast. The Martial comparisons are apt.
One of our best players, again.
I thought he had some good lay-offs while playing as the #9 tonight, it was jsut we were shit in attack in the first half and he stuck to his position like LvG likes so saw little of the ball. He was superb in the second half on the RW and menaced their fullback, it was him that sparked us into life IMO.
I liked that performance, you saw more of what he can do when he moved to the right wing.
Showed his great link-up play up front and then showed his pace, quick thinking and great technique on the right. Amazing talent and it's good to know that he could be used on the wing as well.
Still, I'd like to see him continue up front with maybe trying Memphis on the right.

Cracking player. Looks a real gem.
Some of his little one touch passes were lovely. Great feet and pace dribbling.

Very very bright
Watford seemed to have problems playing against him, even having more than one player mark him at times.
Looked class when he moved out to the right. The few times he got the ball up top he looked bright as well, but we didn't really do much attacking for the most part so he wasn't as involved as the last few games. But was by far our most dangerous player IMO. Should keep his place on the right wing if he's not too tired for the next game.
How did it take Martial, Rooney and Will Keane getting injured for him to get his chance?
It makes me wonder who else we have in the academy with talent who isn't getting used
I think tonight was his best game despite him not scoring

His poaching abilities can guarantee him some gametime even if he doesnt grow up that fast as footballer which is great.. I dont say he's better than Chicharito now but he certainly looks to have more talent and for that reason I am glad this young fella has got his chance and has been taking them, excited to see more of him till the end of the season.
It's great that it's not only Martial who can dribble past players in similar fashion. He's also very aware of what is around him, some nice little flicks and quick one two's like they all do it for U21/U18s. The best moment was probably how he controlled that driven pass at the right hand side and went past that player, so classy, really like him and he's ours!
Rashford right, Martial Left, Kane up top
Showed he can do much more than just bang goals into the back of the net. Did very well leading the line today. his pressing was first class
That's what I think separates him from the ''flash in the pan youngster'' route. He's clearly a huge talent when you see him on and off the ball, never mind the goals he's scored so far.
Looked a different player on the right, showed a different side of him. He's fearless, always willing to take players on, showed great skill. Great to have kids like him in the team.
Best performance so far. Kid looks better with each viewing.
I had forgotten what it was like to have a good right winger in the side. He looked very sharp when the change was made with him and Martial.
He is direct. Takes on players, good awareness and anticipation. Not selfish. He will improve his decision making. We have gold on our hands.
Love seeing him on the right last night in the 2nd half. Very strong and direct play that we have been missing all season.
Memphis - Martial - Rashford is the future.

Few posters on here were saying how he's similar to Hernandez the other day, in that he's a good poacher but hasn't showed great technical ability.
I think he murdered that theory yesterday. Great runs from out wide. Its great having an effective right winger.

100% deserved. Absolutely delighted for the kid, he's made such an impact.
Played very well last night on the right, was terrorizing Watford's back four. Great to see, and long may it continue.
Lingards woeful at defending.
Harsh on Memphis, I think he has great potential.Rashford right, Martial Left, Kane up top
It's a bit premature right now, but if Rashford keeps his form up, could he make a late surge for the England Euro squad?
2 more goals and he's on the list after 4 games.
