I actually am kinda intrigued to see what can Mourinho make of this guy once he arrives. He has a bad rep on this place but the guy did mould Drogba from a promising one to a lethal striker, and to some extents fine-tuned Ronaldo's scoring game. I don't think to date, LvG has actually nurtured to completion a striker yet.

He did well again, ran the channels, made good runs and held it up well, plus he bagged another vital goal.
Match day live on MUtv;
I'm sure DDG just referred to Marcus as "Shagger"

Definitely is.
He's a good looking 18 year old starting upfront for Manchester United. I wouldn't be surprised if he's already a millionaire from signing that new contract.
If I was him I'd be pelting every single bird in sight.
Kluivert?
Depends if you think he's peaked by the time he left for Milan.
Didn't he buy him in Barca too?
Indeed he did. His record there was a bit iffy though. Solid 1 in 2 striker which put him in the top echelon at the time but 182 games over 6 seasons is quite poor and not many trophies to boast of.
Think that's in the league alone which is decent at 30 games per season.
Yeap. Final tally is 255/120. Quite strange that I didn't remember him that highly. It was all Fat Ronaldo, Rudd, Henry and Sheva growing up for me.
He could reach 10 goals for us, which is amazing considering he made his debut at the end of February and is only 18 years old. Never would have imagined that he'd make this kind of impact!
He's the real deal.
Rashford's scoring at a better rate than Rooney in Rooney's first season!
Rooney scored 17 goals in 43 apps. Rashford is on 7 in 12.
This is only a little nice stat, it doesn't mean that he's playing better than young Rooney.
We can keep doing this or you can show examples where his buildup play is better than hernandez. He got a great goal today and showed great movement in the 6 yard box, checking and slotting it home. but also lost the ball a couple times.
I love the guy and am excited as feck but the way some posters write you'd think he's suddenly Harry Kane level. The boy has played 12 league games and he's now a better player than Hernandez. Christ.
feck me i love Hernandez but aside from scoring goals he's absolutely shit at football, used to infuriate the fcuk out of me!
Those are literally the only kind of goals we've been scoring this season to be fair
Which of course, is what matters most.
The highlight of our season and watching him play is the only thing to look forward to in our remaining league games.

The black Chuck Norris. Marcus Rashford is so tough...

At 18 where was Kane or Little Pea? This guy is 18 and is playing well and scoring the very few chances coming his way. At Arsenal he might have twice as many chances every game. Here its scraps right now and his shot conversion rate is very impressive. He could be a flash in the pan unlike Little Pea but jesus for his tender age he's about as impressive as its possible to be in this team!
He looks like has all the tools. Only going to get better and best of all - has the killer instinct infront of goal. It's a cliche but you're unlikely to develop that, generally you have it or you don't.
Physically he's got a lot of growing to do. Hopefully he becomes the player he can be.

Natural goal scorer.
I think these shouts that he should go to the euros have a bit of weight behind them (not that I think he will go but I think maybe he should). Now this is probably premature but I'm just using it as an example. Rashford is no where near as good as Ronaldo (when at the same age) and probably will never be good as Ronaldo (not that thats anything to be ashamed of tbh).
But lets just look at what happened with Ronaldo. He went to the 1994 world cup, didn't play a single game. But you hear Carlos Parriera and Mario Zagallo talking about how they just wanted him to gain experience. And that worked out tremendously for Ronaldo who went on to become one of the best players ever and also featured in the next 2 world cup finals, winning one of them scoring both goals.
Now, this is England, and they probably won't win and his confidence might be shattered because England are, lets face it, shit. But its interesting to think about.

Hopefully, Mourinho will continue to give him chances.
He should go and warm the bench for me. Not sure of his abilities as an impact player but he has real pace....so if Vardy gets injured he's a natural replacement.....
Let him play for England U21s first ffs.
There was a time when an international call up was awarded based on a year's form.
England don't need to bring him, it's their strongest position. Vardy and Kane in top form, and Sturridge stating to play games. You also have Welbeck who is a very reliable England player and, of course, Captain Wonder Wayne Mark Rooney.

Did Kane ever play for the England youth teams? This lad could have an Owen intro who knows?
I think this tournament is one too early for him particularly because I know that if England start poorly they are going to need a saviour, a saviour they will crucify should he fail to save them. He is better off playing with the U21s or resting on holiday.
He's obviously had a dream start in terms of goals and it's really great to see a youth player make such an impressive start to a career but...I don't think he's been particularly impressive, in terms of showcasing 'top level' ability. By that I mean players like Rooney, Giggs and Owen burst on the scene and were immediately 'superstars' and you knew it.
Tough to be compared to but I'm finding that Rashford is spoken about with the same anticipation and I don't think he's been close to what they showed at a similar age - I don't mean it is a criticism...given his age, he's well ahead of the standard development curve but he'll have poor spells and several setbacks, whilst facing criticism from pundits and fans. Basically, it's not just him that needs to stay grounded (seemingly he is) but talk of going to the Euros is madness IMO and I'd hope he doesn't to avoid being lumbered with the inevitable failure aftermath.
After saying that, he's made more of an impact than almost any of our youth players in 2 decades but it'll be a few years of development before we really see how his career is going to shape. Exciting times though.

Yes, Harry Kane was very highly rated in the international youth setups.
But Stuart Pearce this week was saying he was never on their radar was that Article made up??

I'm a bit shocked he keeps finding the net. He's just so young and he didn't seem the type that you knew would explode at first team level. Glad he's doing well though.
Look; at this point, if he ends up at a Chicharito level in terms of impact and goal scoring ability, United would've struck gold. Obviously he's better on the ball but his pace, movement, intelligence and finishing are all similar to Chicharito's and he's been a tremendous goal scorer at every level. Comparing him to anyone at his age after 15 first team matches is kinda ridiculous but the Rooney/Giggs/Owen types don't exact grow on trees. We should be happy that he's even producing at this stage.
Eh his pace would leave Little Pea for dead. His link up play looks a different level already?
He did and was fairly prolific at every level from U17 to senior level.
He very well could. But as a United fan, I want him a million miles from France. The hype train is an unnecessary evil.
