Made a difference, but he has to bury that chance. Just has to.
Our players just crap themselves when they have time to think in front of goal.

He isn't. He had a couple of good runs but was incredibly wasteful as usual by missing a sitter, blasting a free kick into the stands and overhitting set pieces and crosses.
I don't get why people are thinking that was a brilliant performance. It really wasn't.
Doesn't want to be harsh but he really needs to improve his finishing. Never saw him chipping the goalkeeper.
Our bright spark.
Good skills but frustrating end product. Should have scored on his 1 on 1 chance, and the crossing was poor at times as well.
Missed a sitter? Navas saved it.
You don't appreciate what he does off the ball. Madrid couldn't contain him so went 2v1 on him at the end. Carvajal didn't have a clue..
PS the lad is 18 and was in the academy the other year.
Made a difference when he came on. Shame he didn't put that chance away and on any other day Navas doesn't get to that shot, but overall he made a positive impact.
Fantastic when he came on but how the hell did he miss that chance!
should have scored a relatively easy chance and so equalized. In games like these, he has to take such chances. Some very average free kick taking too.
Not very impressed.

Changed the game by being direct, but missed an absolute sitter. The near post corner was gaping. Just roll it in the goal.
It's the exact same thing. He had a glorious chance and couldn't take it; which is what usually happens with him. I appreciate his work rate but I think he lacks technical ability.
Also, he's not eighteen. He's two months away from twenty which puts him in the same general age bracket as Mbappe, Dembele, Sane and Jesus; who are all more accomplished players.
Immediately made a difference after coming on but it wasn't asking for much after the performance Lingard served in the first half.
Please for the love of God stop comparing him to Mbappe, Rashford's football IQ is nowhere near him. Pogba played him through with a nice through ball, all he had to do was look up adjust his run so that he could put Lukaku through but for some strange reason he started to run wide. Even the chance he missed, it was there to be buried near post with his stronger foot but he went across with his weaker foot for some reason. Add to that his overcooked crossing, penchant for running into defenders and conceding cheap free kicks make up for a frustrating performance.
He offers tremendous work rate but folks on here mistake it for productivity, he is extremely wasteful. Compare his output to someone like Martial, the difference is night and day yet Mourinho doesn't fancy the other bloke. It's baffling.

His finishing and end product needs to drastically improve this season. So frustrating.
He was good tonight in everything except his end product. It really does let him down, regularly.

Away from his terrible miss he was a good sub and provided what Lingard didn't.
I don't like him training on set pieces during matches, though.

Was a real threat but lacked the quality needed.
Had a good impact, though poor final ball and takes an extra touch and loses it a lot. Don't like him on the left wing because his left foot is pretty useless and he'll go down the outside but then just cut back in and ruin the good work he did. Should've scored, but never had confidence that he would because his finishing isn't actually very good, especially not on his left.
He tried, but lacked composure in the final third.
Should have put that chance in, and that free kick

This. Navas was so far to the far post, it was impossible to score where he put it.
Yeah Navas was actually poorly positioned.
It seems we're still in the habit of missing gigantic chances. The weird thing is, even accounting for the sheer difference in quality between the sides tonight, on the balance of chances it wouldn't be outrageous of it ended a draw with Lukaku, Pogba and Rashford missing sitters.
Well said. His decision making is really not that great and is always over looked by pundits.
Jose loves and trusts him though so I doubt that will ever change unfortunately for Martial.
He's very fast and gets his fullback on the edge, but his dribbling and end product is lacking.
He was miles better than Lingard of course and should have started over him.
The concerning thing now though is when he went through on goal I fully expected him to miss, and inevitably he did. He looked so cool and clinical in those first 6 months in the team. What's happened?

Fantastic when he came on. Made a big difference down that left, even with no left back to help him out. Only disappointment was that he didn't finish his chance.
Should definitely start vs West Ham on Sunday.

If we had Rashford on the left or right and another player similar on the other wing and then play Mickey T or Mata in the 10, we would be much better.
Just cannot understand why we cannot play Mata or Mickey T in the ten.

Lol. You mean when that one time he ran circles around him and did absolutely nothing at the end?
Awful crossing and set pieces - did nothing of note except running around and missing that glorious chance.

It's unrealistic to think 2 months will have changed anything from last year, when these sorts of misses from him cost us so many points.
Im very hopeful he can become the real deal by age 23, but maybe it was better to get him out on loan this year, and buy another proven striker.
We cant be losing points again this year just so Rashford can develop his potential.
Okay, fine: But then again he was the only attacker that actually made things happen and had the balls to have a go at them tonight, so there's that...
When he runs with the ball at pace I don't think anyone know's what he's going to do with the ball including him!
Really needs to find some composure and I don't mind if he becomes predictable like the Robben cut in on the left foot, just something that he can perfect and do over and over again because he will be hard to stop even if they know what's coming with his pace.

There's menace, though. You can't deny there's menace.
Had a shocker. He seemed to have a killer mentality in front of goal in his break through season, but I it looks like it was just a case of being an unknown quantity and surprising everyone rather than being a good finisher.
It's not like he missed a sitter ffs. It was a decent save. Bale missed a far easier chance. Guess we shouldn't be interested in him on that basis? Rashford's had one season looking lethal in front of goal and one looking not so good. Let's not write off this season just yet. He's already looked sharper in pre-season.
I think he had a really good impact off the bench and I think he's a decent finisher, but come on, that was a stonewall sitter... Watch the replay with the angle from behind Marcus' back. He's got half the goal to roll it into, Navas is positioned too far to the right. Easy chance, bottled it.
Nah, one v ones like that are never "sitters". Now Bale's chance really was a sitter...
Just depends how you define sitters.
To me, Rashford should bury that chance. He had almost the entire left side of the goal to bury it.
The replay from his back showed it all.
"He's really needs to improve his....."
Well yeah of course he does. A young player whose career is only just getting going. I'm already sensing a lack of patience from some. Which is ridiculous.

His decision making needs to improve, will want to run with the ball even when he has teammates in good positions
Thought he played fairly well today. Was a massive nuisance to them after coming on and nearly scored.
Against Real Madrid that's a sitter. You get very few chances and normally they don't come clearer than that.
I've not written him off but we don't have space for passengers this season and he should be judged on contribution and not age or future potential.
