La liga is the best place to go. I think he'd realise that in a more technical league that his pace isn't the be all and end all and it would teach him more about just being direct and 100 miles per hour all the time.
There is much promise with Rashford but I'd hate to see it squandered. I don't think staying at United and playing in such a pressured environment where he has to be so direct and relied upon is going to bring out the best in him.
Even someone like Martial could probably develop faster playing up front for a smaller side than he is under Jose but I think Rashford is in more need of a loan than Martial is. He seems more raw than Martial to me.
Martial at the end of the day is definitely a top 4 club footballer but Rashford could be a mid table footballer sometimes he looks so raw but at other times looks a world beater and therefore building up some consistency up front and getting goals regularly will really develop his edge in front of goal.
He should be coming on in games from the bench. His pace and dribbling is ridiculous but his finishing let's him down at the moment.
Criticising our academy while using Rashford as an example is simply wrong, because that same Rashford who is our academy product is playing better than some foreign stars for who we paid big money.
You make it sound like Rashford is having a significantly better season than Martial, they've both been bang average after having great first seasons. At least Martial did something to make us and the likes of Chelsea willing to splash big money on him. If you want to see Martial criticisms you can check out his thread
Not sure if serious...
Pochettino is far more receptive to youth players with more emphasis on youth development as a whole, yeah. But that's not what the original post said: the environment under Pochettino is certainly not 'laid back'.He'd be fine in a high scrutiny environment under a coach who actually develops youth properly, like Pocchettino. .....
I think with Newcastle coming up, I think that would be the perfect place for him to go out on loan to. I think the championship is too low for him, but a lower premier league side would certainly be the best place for him.Sending him on loan overseas would be a bit silly. The Championship would be fine. He'd be torching grown men every week and scoring plenty because he's shown ability at the top level already. Don't need to overthink it. He needs a lot of starts up front and a lot of goals.

Overrrated. No deadly serious. He has missed sooo many chances this year. Not scored since September. Sorry Rashford you just ain't good enough.
Where's the patience? He's 19.
Shown more than enough to suggest he can be a fantastic striker. Do you not think he will improve?
I said he needs a loan in a more laidback environment, then stuck a semi-colon in there to elaborate that if he was in this intense environment under a proper advocate of youth development like Van Gaal or Pocchettino, he'd be fine.
Pocchettino has effectively recreated the United of the early 90's at Spurs; he's a proper United manager, and puts the Mouron to shame.

I actually think he needs to slow down a bit when dribbling. He runs at full pelt but can't keep the ball under control unless it's in a straight line.
He should run them, then stop them and slow them down, then go again. Neymar/Messi are really good at doing this, they change the tempo of their dribbles and that catches defenders off balance.
If you just run full at full speed and try to cross or dribble it's so hard.
Shown more? If anything he's show the opposite for me. Can't dribble, can't score, sure as hell can't cross. I'm not out to get him so please don't think that. I'm just not convinced by his development thus far. I hope he proves me wrong.
He is not playing well this season but that is completely expected. I think he is over played and exposed too much, he will develop into a good player at the very least IMHO. We just need to be patient and hope that Mourinho manages him better because playing him as much as he is, isn't very good management.
Think some unfair comments on him, with his long range shooting and the great display for England he showed me even more he can be the real deal in a few years time. Not good enough now to start but great impact sub.

I can't believe some of the stuff I'm reading in here. No technical ability, no skill, should be loaned out. Are you all crazy?!
I understand his lack of goals is frustrating, but more experienced players have gone through similar phases. Rashford will come out of the other side, I've no doubt about it.
I don't see what's crazy about him being loaned out. The club is in a transitory phase and there's a lot of pressure on the team to get back into the top 4 and CL football. The results are not there at the moment and the players performances are getting over-scrutinised as a result. A lot of the players are under-performing, maybe (partly) as a result of that pressure.
Playing in a lower ranked team could help him get more minutes as CF (which he needs), allow him to develop and find his scoring boots again. It could benefit both him and the club.
It's crazy because he's good enough to be playing for us. Not to mention we'd have to buy someone to take his play within the squad. It's actually really really crazy the more I think about it.
First off, he's good enough to be a squad player but not good enough to be a starter at the moment. He's not better than Ibra is, as a CF. The other forwards he's competing for time with (Mata, Martial, Mkhi) have all been more productive than him and the latter two have less minutes than Rashford too. It's hard to argue that he's a better player than any of them at the moment.
Secondly, as you might have noticed our attack has not been good enough. We are already trying to buy someone (Griezmann), by the looks of things, to improve our goal scoring. If he does come, Rashfords time will be further limited (as with the rest of the players) as a result.
So the question is, is it better for him to stay here and be squad player or should we send him off on loan for a year in the hopes more first team football will help his development?

A lot of ifs and buts there.
I still think he's better staying here because I think he's good enough to play for us.
In fact, if he's loaned out I'll be pretty pissed off with Jose. I very much doubt he will be doing that. Jose looks to be a huge fan of Rashford thankfully.
Yet he's also accused of managing Martial badly by not playing him enough. He really can't win, can he?
