Class performance, his movement is superb, his finishing is composed and his hold up play is good, the assist for Herrera's goal was superb and he almost got another when he laid it on for Memphis.
 
Seems very accomplished already, makes very good decisions on the ball and he's very relaxed. So happy right now.
 
Wow, just wow! For 18 years old, he plays with so much experience. Seems to be an all rounder, in terms of play style. He's strong, good in the air, good dribbler, links up play and scores goals. I must say, what I like about him the most is his ability to be in the right place at the right time. All of his goals have come inside the box. He seems to be a natural poacher - similar to Hernandez, which is what we've missed this season. As good as Martial has been, even he doesn't seem to have this natural instinct within the box.

His story so far reminds me of Harry Kanes, in the way that he got in the team due to injuries and took his chance straight away. Since then, he hasn't looked back. Hoping that can be the same for Marcus Rashford.
 
This guy is just insane. Two games and two MOTMs. Keep having to remind myself that he's just 18. Was isolated for long periods but did ever so well. Excellent hold up play, strong in the air, two goals and one assist. DAMN. Something tells me this isn't another Macheda situation. He's proper quality
 
I gave him a 10 today. Anything less would have been a travesty.
 
Great knack of being in the right place at the right time. Time will tell whether he will go on to big things in the long term or fade away, but a fantastic story in the here and now.
 
Same, but that would involve dropping Memphis or sticking Martial/Memphis on the right which wouldn't be ideal.

Could have sworn one of the commentators mentioned that Rashford was a winger/played a lot on the wings. There may be a way to get all three on the pitch at the same time in a system where Rashford's given license to play as a wide-forward. Or, hell, we could continue on this retro-United path and go 442

Already scored as many as Falcao did for us.

That sound you hear is Woodward chewing a pen to a pulp whilst fretting over how he might not get to make his load-blowing signing.
 
Anyone who watches the academy on a regular basis, how good has he been for the u 18/21's ?

Yeah he used to play as a winger. A front 3 of Martial, Rashford, and Memphis could rival Barcelona for the greatest front 3 of all time.
 
Surprise package of the season. Don't think he will wind up to be another Macheda. He has some serious pace and is actually decent on the ball. Hope he builds on from here.

This is key for me. He can make it here.
 
Brilliant again. Can't believe not only the goals but to lead from the front as a lone striker is not easy for anyone but for an 18yo to be doing it for United is ridiculous. His touches and awareness have given me a lot of confidence that he's got what it takes. Would love to see him Martial & Depay in the same side.
 
Can't explain how happy this kids made me in the last 72 hours.

Nothing better then our youngsters shining through.

He could be very decent cutting in from the right on his left foot with his pace and trickery.

What a week for the kid. Dare I say it, the new Patrick Kluivert?
 
Bit of a weird time to bring it up. We've clearly been playing more offensively as a team for a couple of months now. Rooney scored 7 goals and got 3 assists in 9 games in 2016. That's partly because he wasn't playing like a donkey any more but also partly because we started to play more open football.

He still looks like a proper striker who is hard to mark unlike Rooney who is nowhere near agile, dynamic, dangerous on the counter and good dribbler as him. I seriously don't see Rooney giving Arsenal's defence headache even in his best form this much.
 
Fantastic again and a bright future ahead hopefully

Memphis - Rashford - Martial with Mata behind could win us the Europa League

I just hope Van Gaal doesn't throw Rooney back in by default

Drop Mata and play a proper 442. Memphis and lingard can be the playmakers. The link up between those 4 should be good enough to open most defences!
 
Far too early to tell how good this kid could be.. but brilliant start to his career and I would like to thank him for finally giving the fans some much needed excitement.
 
I thought lingard was pretty average again today so I'd consider moving rash ford wide right for a game.

---------------Martial-------------------
Memphis------Mata---------Rashford

That front four has bags of pace and I think they can all chip in with goals. For me Rashfords only weakness today was winning the ball in the air which is an area I think Martial is stronger, his pace and dribbling tho could make him tough to play against out wide.
 
I thought lingard was pretty average again today s
That probably belongs in the Lingard thread then. And no he wasn't average. Whenever he's been poor, van Gaal has rightly subbed him off. Sanchez was anonymous today and that's because of him and Varela, but that belongs in another thread.
 
Can he play from the right? When Martial comes back that might be the only open place in the team.
