I'm never confident that we'll turn up when he isn't starting.

26 goals for United as a teenager. Not bad.
I wonder who the next most prolific teenager has been? Presumably Ronaldo? How many had he at this age?

Jose has created this toxicity by pitting them against each other. You've got fans criticising one to big up the other. If they were both in the team at the same time we wouldn't have fans coming out with this rubbish. They could easily play on each wing.
His impact is played down by few ManUtd fans for some reason. More often than not he contributes to first goal which opens up the game.
Despite his young age I always get this impression of him that he's got massive cojones, something 90% of this team doesn't have, even if they're older than Marcus. It's hard to dislike him.
West Ham, Leicester, Stoke, Burton, Crystal Palace, Benfica and Huddersfield. 7 times involved in our first goal either by scoring or assisting it.
That is very impressive.
What are you rolling your eyes at here?

Definitely. I remember at home to Anderlecht (I believe) last year he really stepped up. Nothing was going right for him for the majority of the game but he never hid and kept on pushing, resulting in his excellent goal.Despite his young age I always get this impression of him that he's got massive cojones, something 90% of this team doesn't have, even if they're older than Marcus.

Giggs had 23 goals.
Rooney had 22 goals.

Rooney scored more than 4 goals for us as a teenager.Rooney had 21 goals as a teenager...17 for Everton and 4 for United.
Rashford has 26, with a possible duo of games before his 20th (October 31st).
Ronaldo had 19.....from what I can make out....4 Sporting, 15 United.
edit: The 3 Sporting goals were in the league. He didn't score in Europe in 2002/03, but not sure about their domestic cup run.
edit2: He scored once in their domestic cup - Taça da Liga.
Rooney scored more than 4 goals for us as a teenager.
Both Mbappe and Dembele play in much weaker leagues btw. I think Mbappe might be better ATM but both he and Dembele would go down a few notches dealing with premier league defendersFinished in 3rd place for Golden boy award, behind Mbappe and Dembele.
