Was better when he went out wide, to be fair. Put some nice crosses in and had the beating of Jenkinson all day.

He was dead tired at the end.
Does anybody recall how good a left back Andy Cole was?
He's saying ibra or rooney would have played a tactical foul. Which is what Rashford should have done.
I was screaming that before the cross even went in let alone the goal. He's far too soft to be a winger with defensive responsibility.
At that point in the game I'm certain both would have fouled him.
Even more reason to foul.
Who is the alternative to him? Caf whipping boy Lingard?
Martial's been worse than Rashford or do we move the goalposts because it doesn't fit the agenda?
Young? Is he "united material" again after sitting on the bench?
Mkhi if he's actually still on the payroll?
United fans are bipolar as feck. Whine all year long about not having any Giggs/Beckhams coming through the academy, and shit on academy kids doing well like Rashford, Lingard and even Pogba.
Yeah you are missing it. He's been shite because he's been played out of position. If he doesn't have world-class potential then absolutely no-one his age does. Come back to me when you find someone his age show what he did last season at the highest level. But of course it's easy for you to come out with this now.
Andy Cole would have actually done something up front and moved a little.
Also Rashford has played his whole youth career on the wings. This isn't something new to him like how you making it out to be.
Maybe. He's still too much of a nice guy at the moment. Doesn't complain enough when he gets fouled.
But when you're tired, it slows everything down. It becomes really hard when you're chasing a guy with explosive acceleration like oxlade chamberlain.
I agree with this. People seem to be very harsh on him. He played relatively well, and was caught off guard by a player who had just come on.
So it's been decided. Neither Ibra or Rooney have ever let a player as fast as Chamberlain run past them.
It's blindingly obvious when he plays as a striker. Lots of evidence.
The intention from Oxlade chamberlain that he was going to go down the wing for a cross was so obvious I could have anticipated that and defended that better. Rashford did not anticipate that and he fecked up. It really is as simple as that.
Where did he actually play today?
He played up front and barely did anything. Made no runs in behind. I'm not Rooneys biggest fan but atleast he actually moved when he came on.
Even in the first half when Pogba put a brilliant ball in and all he was doing was standing still.
He's a kid, we will learn from his mistake. Thought he worked hard upfront, made a lot of runs and opened up spaces.
At 1-0 with 5 minutes to go... no.
And if they did I'd be calling them for a shite piece of defending.
His fault for the goal. Pogba should have helped him but far too easy for Ox to get passed him.
Not acceptable really.
Not acceptable really.
Where did he play today for 60 odd minutes?
Depay is a better player than Rashford, just give him a chance
@Dobbs seems to have a real problem with just admitting a glaring mistake from Rashford. It completely bizarre.
Agreed Mourinho should have taken him off earlier
An example of the red tinted glasses
Nope, Pogba was perfectly positioned and I'd go bananas if my CM went out wide there.
Only a halfwit would judge Rashford's potential on the basis of today's 60 minutes.
You asked where was the world class potential. It's been staring you right in the face for over six fecking months.
Just foul him and get the yellow Marcus 
I just wish he'd have just grabbed Oxlade-Chamberlain and surrendered the free kick. Literally grab him. Hold his shirt til the ref blows. He's not on a yellow. Why not grab him?
That goes out of the window 90 minutes in and fighting for a result. All hands to the pump.
If you're so cut throat about Rashford, why is there so much leeway for MEMEphis when he did feck all last year? Things got so bad that LVG - supposedly his own father figure - had to drop him. Just stop
What do you mean it's not acceptable?
Posters get so unbelievably serious about every single mistake.

Martial was playing great on the left, that is why Memphis never got a chance. Rashford is too clumsy and looks very amateur at times
So tell me his strengths?
I'm not judging it on 60 minutes. You making out he's never played on the wing in his life. That's where he played for the youth team ffs.
I imagine the reaction would be different if a foreign player was performing like this.
No it doesn't, the reason Arsenal had one chance all game was due to United's defensive positioning, of course it doesn't go out of the fexking window @TheReligion
Stop looking for other answers when the simple one is that Rashford should do much better & will learn from this.
What it means.
It's 1-0 and 90 mins in. You don't let someone ghost passed as easily as that. I'd sooner he chop him down or give a free kick.
I'm not bothered about the mistake, they happen, as frustrating as it is much better and more seasoned actual LB's than Rashford have made that mistake before. I was more dissapointed with his play as the #9. his best stuff came when he drifted wide.
Of course it was a mistake. There's no denial about that.
I'm just laughing at your hypothetical theory that Ibra or Rooney wouldn't have let it happened. I would wager there's countless examples of extremely quick players running past them at important times.
Of course Ibra wouldn't have been in the position in the first place.
I said Rashford should do better. Did you miss that?
I also feel Pogba could have come over.
It was obvious we needed to stop the ball coming into the box from out wide given Giroud was on the pitch.
I'm saying they would have had more experience and physical presence to play a tactical foul. They might not do it every time, but you can be rest assured beyond reasonable doubt they'd handle it better than Rashford did.
Except Martial spent a lot of time at #9 with Depay on the wing. Sometimes it was Rooney at 9, Depay on the wings. Martial was only sent wide because of Rashford's emergence.
Rashford scored 12 goals in his first 25 apps, I'd take that kind of clumsy player all day.
Reading some absolute nonsense on here at times. The lad is on another level and poises a threat every time he's on the ball. Couple years from now I predict we'll have one of the best players in the world.
Regarding the goal, even if he fouled him, someone on here would have then blamed him if they then scored from free kick. We needed a second goal and that was the bigger issue.
