Glorious goal, looking forward to seeing it replayed a hundred times.

Did well to keep his cool when that shower of cnuts were surrounding him pretending that he dived.

Welbz is great player, the problem here was/is that too many people saw him as no9 striker which he isn't even himself, can be great wide forward, sort of what Martial is for us.. not as much pressure for him to score from there and defo good enough goalscorer from that role, not talking about all other things he brings to the team which alone make him valuable player..

Too many people, including himself?
 
Goal that is easily on current level of Martial's skill set. Instead of constantly looking for players in the back to pass he's taking a defender (Skrtel/Demichelis) with acceleration then surgically putting ball in the net. You do not need lectures on philosophy to make things better for the match day.

It was all about instinct and natural drive for goal. He has it and with better assist specialists around him next season he could cause more damage.
 
Him and Martial were bright today. Fantastic goal by Rashford.

I would be annoyed if Rooney came straight back into the team in place of Rashford
 
If he bulks up sufficiently, he has the potential to be a real beastly striker IMO. Some players you don't want to bulk up so they don't lose their agility, but he seems to have the frame to be a real dominant guy up top, and the quality on the ball as well. Brilliant today, though he obviously tired in the second half.

Who is saying he's the next Messi?

In a season full of negatives, you're trying to find faults with people getting happy about a young Mancunian breaking throughm incredible.

Yes... that is exactly what i'm doing...

yeah after scoring some goals for the national team media and he convinced himself that he can be that striker, saw a bigger role for himself, what's funny? Being a bit ambitious and confident is part of every top athlete, it's like if Bale didn't see himself as winger or capable of things, he wouldn't move on, he had that potential to be that player but if he developed as leftback he could decent but rather one of many. I think Welbeck showed he can fire goals for England up front but his potential is bigger playing elsewhere...
time will tell if he stays fit which might be a problem
 
Worth noting his passing accuracy was 100% today. Not bad for leading the line away in a Manchester derby..
 
United have scored 6 goals against the current top 4 teams so far, half of them by Rashford in just 2 appearances. He makes a difference up front.
 
Pace is a scary thing for defenders, especially the state of defenders in the league right now. Still bonkers to think after scoring the goals he did, he was pushed to the Right wing against Liverpool when we needed goals.

Anyway, happy to see him perform like he did. Should have had a penalty as well. Kept running despite what looked like a cramp as well. Mad. Dude never stopped running for us.
 
What he's done for us so far, the way he's played, is fecking unreal for a 18 year old.

Apart from skin colour I really dont see many similarities. He is even quicker than Danny which was one of his attributes.

He takes up decent positions and his movement is good. He's quick, athletic, holds the ball up well. I see similarities to be honest.

He looks to have the key attribute in a forward - the ability to find the net. Hopefully it continues.
 
Rashford will be better than Welbeck. He has much more composure.
 
Welbeck would have tried to lob Hart with that chance, and he'd have fecked it up

His second touch after attempting to take on Demichelis would have put the ball over the by line, with him scrambling after it.
 
He gets in the channels very much like Welbeck did. Looks to have that similar rangey stride too but his early goals suggest he is far mire instinctive in and around the six yard box than Welbeck ever was.
 
Best thing about today's goal was that he actually had a bit of time to think about it and kept his composure to finish it which can often be more difficult than the instinctive type of finishes which he's shown for the first team so far
 
Thank god Rooney is out so this lad is getting chances.
It's been a while since we had that kind of movement up top from our front three.
 
He fecking rapid as well. I think there was a point in the game where he absolutely destroyed Clichy through his acceleration, and he's no slouch.

No. Why the no love for the Welbeck? He would have fallen over hitting the ball. I don't know why such a big lad can't keep his balance. Even Chadwick could keep his balance.
 
He's so good! That late run in the dying seconds when he was struggling helped majorly. Great goal as well.

Him over Rooney every single day of the week.

His calves were probably burning the whole time as well.
 
I'm surprised by Rashford, I thought that he was good with the u18 but I never thought that he would adapt that easily to professional football, that's not easy, the game is different at that level, the rhythm, the intensity, the physicality are very different and he looks like a fish in the water, he plays like a PL striker. That's a good surprise.
 
Got to give him credit, since he's come into the first team he's more than shown he deserves a starting spot. Hopefully he just keeps his head down and focuses on getting better and not thinking he's made it already, if he does he has a very good future ahead of him. Good thing is he doesn't seem to be like another Macheda
