Josh King
Who was it that compared him to Josh King? Crazy.
He's got really good feet. A lot of tall, younger players flail around the place but he's quick and precise with his footwork.

If Rooney replaces him up top I'll have a fit. He puts him to shame.
About a handful of games. He was pretty much fast-tracked through that into the first team via the U18s.
There isn't a weakness I can spot in his game. Pace, finishing and technique. Also calm on the ball. The sky's the limit with this guy.
Finished like Josh King
Thanks
Not long and it's kind of hard to remember with the youth teams playing at weird times. He's surprised me I got to be honest. I think Wilson and Keane could be great too but this kid is impressing. I think the goal away at City and this goal tonight...show a real quality because they are important goals. With Rooney coming back, it would have been easy for him to go into his shell a bit so it looks good.
Wilson won't be sold - but like Rashford has the benefit of being able to play out wide. We've some good young players.
Lovely Goal. Him and Martial have such a great understanding. They also bring others into play. I think Herrera might thrive playing as a No 10 with them. He seems to get a better understanding with them than Mata.
That was a stonkingly good goal. And a very mature performance.
His goal will get most of the coverage and it was a superb bit of play and a cracking finish, but his all round game was very good tonight, he was calm under pressure, made good runs, linked well and worked his socks off.
I think he's a future 7 for us. The fans love him and he's a wonderful mix of determination and talent.
The goal was obviously great but that stop and go in the box in the first half was even better I thought, just lacked the finish at the end of it.
Glad to see he stuck to his task today and had an absolute stormer. Happy to have someone able to come on so he can rest, even if that is Rooney.

It is funny that if Rooney had not gotten injuried, we would have never seen Rashford play this season. Moreover, Will Keane aswell because I recalled even him was ahead of him. It is interesting how things came together for him to start for United.
Same could be said of TFM really. Infact Mensah was even behind Tuanzebe if I am not mistaken, until he got injured.
He plays with the type of energy and nervelessness I haven't seen since Giggs broke through. Just seems made for this level.
He is fecking 18! just hope he keeps improving, I think it was his best all round game today.. Glad we gave him chance, I don't think under Fergie we would see anything like this, he would probably play rafael/young upfront, Van Gaal deserves a bit credit for it even he's just a bit lucky doing so, all the injuries and small squad however as I said he could still play some senior players out of position and adjust the formation like Fergie would do..
He's not pulling up any trees in The Championship. If he can't get games there, he should be worried.
Unless he pulls of a Kane, his future isn't looking bright. At least his United career. I know there is a player in him.
He played Rafael when he was 18 at RB in a very very important PL game as well if I am not mistaken. Fergie might not have had a small squad, but he always gives opportunities to talented youngsters when the time is right. It's just his approach is more methodical to van Gaal's "Young Lad Deep Pool End" strategy.Wasn't he injured for a while now ?? From what I understand, Wilson is still higher rated than Rashford. Only thing is Wilson sort of tends to go missing for a large chunk of the game before producing a few good moments. Rashford is much more hardworking.
Man what a goal.. Great talent on our hands..
if you're not mistaken, I am not sure if Fergie would play freshly seventeen striker upfront when he played barely two games for U21 before, he played there smaling and sheasy, wes brown as well, I think Vangle gave debuts to more academy players than Fergie did over his last 10 years, and more starts followed, I am not counting Ravel morrison/tunnincliffe.. one minute contribution in a cup game
Wow, just wow! I'm just as excited to see what he can progress into than I am with Martial. The lad looks very special. The finish was top class. Super.
Yea, and I can think of others aswell. Those injuries seem to have helped our season, which is a strange thing to say
Wilson isn't as good with his back to goal as Rashford. He's stronger and has shown a goalscoring instinct that Wilson hasn't been able to transfer to the first team.
Wilson is a bit like Vardy. He needs space to run into.
Wilson was sick on the pitch in January and hasn't wormed his way back into their starting eleven since then. Only 3 starts since January 1st.
Hopefully he'll be our Harry Kane.
One of Willo's main attributes is his hard work. He has even been criticized for running around too much and not knowing how to conserve his energy which leads to him gassing out too early.
Reminds me of a young Michael Owen.
Loan starts don't mean shit, 99% of clubs are going to play their own player over a young kids who isn't their own.
I wouldn't worry about what he's doing in the championship. He's had a few niggles/sickness. Look at Harry Kanes record prior to last season when he was in the championship. He's 20 so still developing. We just have to be paitent and see how he develops but I think the kids this season have been given a great boost. I would expect Wilson to push on once he's stronger. I'm sure Rashford will inspire him
Remember carrick at centreback? Not to mention that blackburn game, SAF got a lot more conservative w.r.t youth as he got older.
Beat me to it.
New Josh King.
They loaned him in to help gain promotion. He was starting games regularly. They didn't loan him in for a laugh. He's scored Premier League goals and came with a prolific record at U21 level.
Bamford was a key player for Middlesbrough last season and MKD the season before.
He was sent there to develop and he isn't.
We had a run of games with fletcher at CB too and also berbatov finished one game there, wasnt from the start though
was quite safety first in his late years..Needs to stay fit first
Rooney will bench him.
