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

26 goals for United as a teenager. Not bad.
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.
I wonder who the next most prolific teenager has been? Presumably Ronaldo? How many had he at this age?
Rooney would be my bet.
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.
By the end of 2004/2005 season (he turned 20 in February of 2005) he had a total of 15 goals for United – according to Wikipedia, that is.
By which logic we can safely conclude that RashGod will go on to be twice the player
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.
Yeah, one thing he always do is he tries and takes responsibility, never goes to hiding. His mentality is just superb.
Exactly.
What are you rolling your eyes at here?
Random snippet. Before turning 20:
Giggs had 23 goals.
Rooney had 22 goals.
Ronaldo had 11 goals.
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.
Do you happen to know how many games they had played for the 1st team compared to Rashford?
Ooh. Good stats.
Appearances | Goals
Giggs 122 | 23
Rooney 54 | 22 (including Everton it's 131 | 39)
Ronaldo 73 | 11 (including Sporting it's 104 | 16)
Rashford 85 | 26
Good stats. Also not doing enough justice for Rashford considering he played many games as sub whereas Rooney and Ronaldo were starters.
Thanks @Nero
So three more games as a teenager. Let’s get to 30 goals before the birthday.
I know, which is why I'm more than happy to let him develop. It's just right now all our attacking options are 'maybes' and we really need some consistent quality up there. If our other attacking options weren't Mata, Mikhi etc it'd be a lot easier to look over Rashford's inconsistencies.
Very impressive for a youngster who still seems raw in some of the things. He is really stepping up this season in terms of goals/ assist stat
The GOAT and Ronaldinho
Ronaldinho saw himself in Rashford after that free kick like he did vs England, no wonder he wants to take picture with him.
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.

Finished in 3rd place for Golden boy award, behind Mbappe and Dembele.
Does that make him Bronze boy ?
Rooney scored more than 4 goals for us as a teenager.
Makes you wonder why Ronaldinho started to work out AFTER he retired from football and was as unfit as pub player for his last few years as a professional.
Probably our best player vs Huddersfield and he played only 45 min we turned up from that mark onward. Wonder how that game would have gone had he started. Considered some of the dross be brought in supposed to be the next big thing. Yet Rashford comes trough our ranks, cost noting and is basically our best youngster since class of 92.
You're right....got my years mixed up. The 4 goals were up to his 19th birthday.
He scored 23 before his 20th.
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 defenders
Finished 2nd place the year before to Renato Sanches.
Already scored 7 goals this season in 14 appearances(out of which he only started 8). Add that to 4 assists and that's an excellent return so far. He has played 740 mins in total this season. 7 goals and 4 assists in 740 minutes is around G/A per 69 mins.
For the people who'll compare him to Welbeck if he has a lean patch. Welbeck had 29 goals in 142 appearances for United. Rashford has 26 in 85.

Mbappe has proved himself in the CL, destroying City in the QF. Rashford has done great in the CL in his three appearances so far.
Mbappe is frightening.
Well done Rashford. You can see he's improving and long may he continue. Will take a good 4 years before we see his true peak IMO.

We need to keep starting him. He actually has balls and variation to his game.
Our best player on Saturday but it was slim pickings really.
Swansea 0:2 Man Utd
That assist.
Poor technique, though
Our best player at the moment.
