He's a class act. Pace, workrate, movement and most importantly ability. The lads got the lot.

Touch and bang, reminded me of a Rvp.
His work rate is also very good. Now he needs to make better decisions in his passing game. It will come with more experience I guess.
Wouldn't it be great in a couple of years when we have a front three of Grenwood, Rashford and Martial with a midfield of Garner, Pogba and Gomes
I love how he manages to pull off the most audacious of flick-ons and touches, like the one to Lukaku in the second half. He may not look as silky as Martial, but anyone who thinks he's not technically very very good is blind.
One chance and one goal. That's all you sometimes get in the big games and he took it so well. Maybe not look to add another in stoppage time but can't fault him there really.
It’s scary to think how good this lad can become!
Not only he is good at everything these days, but he is regulary putting silly but effective skills too. One or two nutmegs, one great backheel, great shooting technique, what more can you ask from a forward 
Does anyone has Ronaldo's stats for us against big teams? I bet Rashford already has better record against current top4.

He has been immense lately.
He's won me over.

Lads we have a absolute gem in our hands. Young, talented, hardworking, loves the clubs to bits, local lad. Show me one striker who we could have bought ticking all these boxes. He's ours!!
7 goals and 6 assists in the Prem.
At this rate it would be disappointing if he doesn't end the season with 15+ league goals.

Guess I'll be the buzzkill this time.
Good clinical winning goal aside... he's lazy this time.
Questionable pressing workrate and marking. It's unlike him. Shit pressings, shit blockings, and shit markings. Many times he let players passed him by. Lame half-assed high pressings. Spurs dangerous attacks came from our left, many times when Rashford is at the left wing, putting Shaw and the team under immense pressure just because he decided to ignore Trippier. Sometimes he follow but a shit follow at that not even that close, many times he don't. Trippier have big spaces and comfortable times to deliver crosses. Martial on the left helped Shaw well, contrast that to when Rash is there. Seriously, other than the important goal, what did he do, just a figure of threat? Half-assed blocking of crosses during open play, and lame blocking of shots during set-pieces. If this is the start of him becoming that lazy ego star type of player, this is a boring development.
If this is Ole's instructions eg. save your energy and position yourself higher up the pitch to get ready for counter attacks, then...
(1) there are inconsistencies there -- sometimes he press, sometimes he don't. Martial, with similar role stated by Ole's post-match interviewer, at the other opposite end press well and helped defend, but not Rash,
(2) that's a BS tactical instructions, considering Spurs are threatening attacking from his half, so Ole and co just let him be standing around and contribute defensively in a lame tame effort? Doubt they tell Rashford (and Lukaku at that) to just watch runners/ballcarriers to pass you by, don't press, let them be.
What's with this overlove BS of Rashford, should get subbed out. Martial and Lingard should stay instead and continue their superb-effort protection of the team while their paces and guile also a threat on attacks. I see many fans are probably only watching the highlights goal again and again, high ratings I see being given. Individualistic performance this time, not a teamplayer.
Great important goal, but overall shit team performance.

Long may it continue then as he is the future and already a better player.
I saw it very differently. Martial didn’t cover well enough, so Rashford was moved to the left. Imo, he didn’t cover much better, but a little.Guess I'll be the buzzkill this time.

No idea where you got lazy from though. He passes off the player he’s marking around our 18 yard line, because under Ole our attackers main job is to, you know, attack, and so will be taking up those positions in order to counter with more than one player.

Rashford lazy?
Dearie me
Dearie me
Even more scary to think how he was vastly over rated a few months ago and could never be a lead the line striker for United.
Attitude has always been spot on, his confidence levels have been varied, but the talent has always been obvious. Amazing what difference it makes having a coach who believes in you and confidence.
Let’s be honest though, you could’ve quoted any of the above about any player in the squad under Mourinho.
I’m chuffed he’s proving me wrong.
Could have scored one more - the one which he shot straight at Lloris , Lingard was free other side.
So the manager's coaching our attacking players now, is he? What kind of devil magic is this?
IMO Ole deserves huge credit for the improvement in Rashford since he took over.

Shouldn’t be that way though. Confidence has always been critical to players. Taking a dump on a player who is out of form just doesn’t t help anyone.
I get it if they’re just not trying or have never looked like they can be good enough.
It’s been obvious since his first game he’s a real talent. His attitude is always great, he leaves everything on the pitch.
Rahford is a tall guy. 1.85 m with that pair of slim legs are logical for me. He has slimmer body type than Ronaldo.
Rashford has fully developed his body. I think that is the peak state of his physical ability.
Every game he is improving. That finish was class, he is high on confidence. Might be too early to say this but looks like he is working a lot on his finishing and has improved already.
Also brace vs Arsenal in 3-2 win on his debut and scored opening goal in 2-0 win vs Chelsea in 2016-17 season.
Mate, we have had to ditch players because they added body weight. Memphis and Lukaku come to mind.
And you think we now need another player to "bulk up".
Rashford is fine as he is. Opposing defenders are scared of him. If he purposely bulks up, he'll probably turn to shit, will be benched and eventually sold.
The modern footballer, has to be slim, agile and light - waif-like. There are some posters on this forum who seem to believe that wrestlers make great footballers...which they don't.
That's not what posters think and idk why it's so frowned upon when suggested on here.
Take a look at Pogba when he was 18/19 and look at him now. It's pretty simple. He bulked up and gained all-round body strength and it's a proper battle to muscle him off of the ball now. Ronaldo of course is the most common example.
Point is you don't have to look like a roid raging body builder. Memphis and Lukaku are simply not talented enough.
Ever since he first made his way into the team he has developed his shooting technique from good to great but it is clear he has picked up on something from Ole now. It is not long since we all watched him look all tense and nervy in front of goal. He didn't look up to see where the goal was and when he did his technique suffered for it. He always had the confidence but it looks like he has put it all together now. His composure has been great and I think we can put that down to Ole unlocking something for him.
Pretty sure he gained 5-6 cm at the start of the 2nd season with the pros.
Guess I'll be the buzzkill this time.

I don't get the point you're trying to make. Under Jose he had a lot of terrible games where he deserved to be called out.
I believe my post match comment consisted of "egg on my face" followed by praise. I love been proven wrong, it means we as a club benefit.
Yeah, this is how I feel too. His long range shooting technique has improved, sort of like Bale's did. So much power and swerve. He was lacking composure in front of goal, at least he was rushing into things before for various reasons, now it looks like he is fully in control. Hopefully he will keep improving. He has all the attributes to become superb player for us.
He really does. I think this is it now. He has had a couple of tough years but things might start moving very fast for him now I feel, and that is very good for the club. Then he can start working on maybe going for more headers etc. The great thing about him is that he is also very versatile so even if Greenwood comes through as a great striker, Rashford will still play somewhere close to goal.
He looked as tall as ddg in the post match interview. Looking like the beast we all knew he could be after lvgs last season. At the moment if rom can't get his shit together then we could do.worse than groom rashford for that #9 role.
No it isn't about Mourinho, he was never a mid table or championship talent or he should've never been compared to Welbeck. He was always better than these stupid post. I'm glad that these posts are getting called out.
Most of the United fans thought that he was overrated too.
Edit: Just saw that you said he's "stealing a living at United", don't justify your stupid comments by blaming it all on Mourinho. He was never that bad.
Other club fan give their academy graduates a longer rope than foreign players, our fans are the exact opposite in calling them overrated and midtable quality at the first avaliable opportunity.

Love him to absolute bits. What a talent, what an engine and what a finish. I genuinely don't know anyone who doesn't love the absolute balls out of this kid.
That was a wonderful finish. Lukaku won't have finished that on current form and fitness. He should be a starter over lukaku any day now, his movement and fitness versatility is an asset.
The way he can drift wide and also play central reminds me of Thomas muller from bayern.

Point is you were wrong. Yes he had poor games, wrongly utilised in a struggling team. But can’t fault his effort and his talent is obvious.
As I said I get if a player fails to turn up, then call him out. But Rashford gave his all regardless of his confidence level and generally looked a different player for England.
Don’t need the local lad thing thrown into the mix either...
De Gea would have saved Rashfords shot though.
With his feet, too.
Maybe, but in Lukakus case its pretty clear hes to heavy as well. If you see the likes of Ronaldo or even Rashford they have loads of muscle, but a much leaner frame which allows them to pack it on without adding to much weight
Yeah, lukaku was way leaner at Everton and looked devastating, he put on weight and is not the same ever since.
It's his decision making, it always has been. It's gotten better recently but still lots to be done. When he's out of form it makes him look poor because he doesn't have that superb close control and he has to resort to kick and run football. In tight games that's not going to work for him.
