Rashford completed the most dribbles (7) and the most chances (7) out of any player - in 30 minutes.

Beautiful nutmeg.
From tribalfootball.That's delicious
Begs the question - where does he make the most impact?
I think he's more a wide forward than an out and out striker personally.
Rashford - "I've been playing in wider positions and it's helped me know what the forwards want from me when I'm out wide," he said.
"That helps me and it also helps me know what the winger wants when I get in the middle.
"The modern-day attacker is not just a No 9 or No 10 or just a winger. It is someone who can interchange between the positions if they are needed to.
"I think I'm a No 9 but if I have to move to other positions for certain games it is what you have to do and it is part of your attributes."
Shame he didn't mean it but looks good nonetheless..
He shifted the ball from his right to his left before kicking it through the defenders legs, he kept eye contact with the ball at all times and never broke his stride. All signs that he meant to do it. He only knows if he actually meant it or not, but there's nothing in observing that indicates he didn't
You have absolutely no idea.Shame he didn't mean it but looks good nonetheless..
Good point, I'm inclined to think he meant it because of the ball' s position (and the defender's)He shifted the ball from his right to his left before kicking it through the defenders legs, he kept eye contact with the ball at all times and never broke his stride.

He 100% didn't mean for the ball to go through the players legs, players always do that quick shift to go in between 2 players and you can see by the path of his left foot that's what he has tried but the ball has accidentally hit his toes and gone through the players legs.
Looks good anyway and don't tell me I have no idea podurban.

Because when people do comparisons 99% of the time the skin colour matches up. No big deal, just a funny aspect of this.
He's more like Owen because he's rapid with the ball at his feet and can drift past players. Like Owen the ball isn't exactly glued to his foot but that speed and agility does the trick. He plays off the shoulder like Owen, neither had much physical presence, neither a target man. In terms of finishing Owen far more clinical but like Rashford he wasn't a scorer of all types of goals.
Welbeck can gallop off the ball but he was never one to beat players consistently. From a standing start he couldn't blast past a fullback. There was never any real desire to be a goalscorer, doesn't really play off the last man. That they both came through United is neither here nor there in terms of playing style comparison. It's also way too early to compare Rashfords finishing to Welbeck's. Especially when you consider how clinical he was last year.
Rashfordinho*Rashaninho is on fire
I don't think he'll stop, he looks desperate to show how good he is.I think it Travellers him as well. Doesn't matter what age you are, you're not lasting the game if you play like that.

The thing is you look at it wrongly here. Mourinho name picked & praised Rashford for his work & movement which in itself created the chance. It's disheartening he's not scoring, but it's also promising that with luck & work his finishing can be improved.
Martial's biggest problem is his workrate & movement off ball. He indisputably has the dribbling skill of top talent, but without the off ball movement, the desire to make run, he's pretty much containable by well organized defense. People often spin it as Martial being asked to do too much defensive work, but the truth is it's also the offensive off ball movement Martial's lacking. It's like comparing Cavani & Berbatov here. One may look like a donkey missing chance, but he works hard enough to create enough chance to score himself. Another has all the gracious touch & better conversion rate, but doesn't work hard enough to get enough chance to score more goal.
The common excuse for Hazard is using Hazard who is lazy defensively, but he's also top notch in off ball offensive movement unlike Martial right now.
Agree to disagree completely.Striker can't score, but he's super fast so that makes it okay. I didn't know we were in the business of almost scoring goals. Also debating off the ball movement of a LM vs. a CF is stupid. Whenever Rashford starts at LM he has performed terribly. He plays very passive and just passes the ball, whereas Martial tries to create despite the 1v2 Jose forces by not playing a proper LB who can overlap.
We'll sell Martial and he'll go one to be a star in a team that accommodates his playing style, while Rashford will become the next Danny Welbeck; nothing more than another over-hyped young English player. Sad stuff. Next thing you know we'll waste buckets of money on Griezmann who's unproven in the EPL, over a sure thing like Sanchez.
Looks like the game could go for another 10 hrs, still he couldn't hit that darn door.
He needs to go on loan, then learn and prove himself somewhere else first; just like H. Keane.
It would be extremely stupid for Mou to depend on him as United 2nd striker for a 36 y.o. Ibra. next season.
Honestly, when was his last good game? I really can't recall, but enlighten me.Looks like the game could go for another 10 hrs, still he couldn't hit that darn door.

He did last seasonIt's not his ability or form that is concerning, as it is normal for a 19 y.o to be inconsistent, but it's his positioning and the killer instinct to be at the right places that concerns me. You hardly ever see him at the end of crosses or a loose ball in the box. He hardly has those poacher's goal ever that is disappointing
Tbf, he has some good games, albeit with poor goal return. And mostly as subs.Honestly, when was his last good game? I really can't recall, but enlighten me.
Yeh of course. That's why there's still hope for him, and loan him out is the best solution for United and him. Hopefully he could get the game time in his preferred position, and United could use his spot for more experience and much better striker that we desperately need at this time.He's still a kid. Last year was an aberration. He still needs to develop like any other 19 year old.
So, the FA cup for us. Yeah, I guess so... other than that? Not sure.Chelsea in the FA Cup and recently for England.
