Perfect run, touch and finish for his goal.
Hopefully he can kick on now, two premier league goals in two is great.
If he can really kick it on now Ibra could be rested more for the Europa without us dropping more league points than we will anyway.
Jose doesn't play the kids :drool:

If he plays like this I want both to play together and we push more for a good old 442 with a big man and a quick striker.
 
surprise, surprise he is playing well in striker role....

Or ditch Zlatan and get a younger, faster big to play along Rashford? Tho I would prefer us giving Martial/Rashford attacking duo a run of games.
 
Fantastic from him, really positive how he's managed to step up in a big game, and not for the first time either. Quite obvious he's a natural striker and that's where he needs to be played - only problem of course is having Zlatan there too.
 
The idiocy of writing off youth players never ceases to amaze me on this place.
 
We're not going to drop Ibra so I'd save Rashford for City away. No more wing play.. Get him training and focused on what's expected of him in the derby
 
When we're salivating over the likes of Mbappe and Dembele, or whoever else is doing something fancy on the continent, we would all do well to remember the likes of Rashford are already at the club and extremely talented in their own right.

That's a big, big performance, that. Very strong and very mature.

Nah, Rashford should play now until he's without confidence. I fail to see why we can't play Zlatan-Rashford together if we continue to play this 442.
 
I can't even describe in words how brilliant he was. Did not expect that performance from him.

Serves as a nice reminder of how good he really can be.
 
Shocked to see Herrera, how good he now was, has over 80% of Motm votes. Rashford by far the best player on the pitch.
 
Man of the match, needs to play with Zlatan up front against Anderlecht.
 
As good as Ibra has been I feel we would have had more points in the league if we played him upfront. Proper mobility up top.

I don't think Ibra is mobile enough for a front 2. It'll naturally end up being one up front anyway with Rashford playing off a more static Zlatan.
As good as Lingard was, right now I'd start Mkhi and Rashford in the derby. It allows Ibra to rest as well with our hopefully busy end to the season.

I'm not sure. Rashford's excellent but naturally at his age he's still to develop a lot and would perhaps struggle to be consistent. I wouldn't be completely against him becoming our main man up top ahead of Ibra though, because the best way for him to continue to improve and produce performances like that every week will be by playing as a striker more and more often.

Yeah, could be A bit like the old classic 4411. But Zlatan works fine in a 442 if Jose wants two strikers high up. Sweden played 442 all the years and Zlatan never had a problem. But he's not played that system in any of his other clubs I don't think.
 
This was the first performance where I felt he could genuinely be good enough to be our striker solution.
 
In an inconsistent season, he really needed to deliver todays performance to demonstrate progress and for his own self confidence.

And what a performance!!!! Reminded me of a young Shearer or fat Ronaldo, he was that good. Beastly, fast, trickery, dribbling, committed. It was a performance that had everything you could ask for from a centre forward. I loved it.

Hope this gives him the confidence to really end the season on a high, helping us win Europa Cup and top 4.

Could have scored another goal, and for that he just misses out as MoM and its a 9/10

yeah, he's got it. Still needs 2 more years as a support striker but he really could make it.
