Shocking performance. Seemed to have no confidence. What was he doing when through on goal at an angle ?

Form is temporary class is permanent. He will be back.
He doesn't look like a center forward. A decent to very good left winger.
Fully fit or not there is no excuse for him allowing Diop to head the ball away unchallenged. He simply doesn’t think like a striker and should not be playing there.
This.
I just don’t know what Rashford should be right now, but definitely not the striker. He doesn’t have the brain for it, and can’t head tge ball either.
He is also not very good winger...
What happen to the old "young Rashy" that we ALL used to love?
Too focused to be the complete player, he lost that natural instinct as a striker.
He has no class, he’s rubbish
He was clearly slightly injured or unwell today. Didn't make much difference to his performance though as he's mostly that ineffectual, especially as a #9. Absolutely overhyped, overpaid player. Decision not to replace Lukaku and give Rashford talismanic status with a superstar contract is looking increasingly bizarre.
Looks like he was in the red zone today and the worst happened.
Still young and developing, daft of fans to write him off and claim he’s rubbish.
very insightful - thank you for your contribution
He's nowhere near good enough as a striker but it was ridiculous to play him 90 minutes on Thursday with Martial injured.
Has he ever been 100% fit? Even when he's seemingly fit you always here "he's playing with a little knock; he's playing, but he's not quite right" etc.
A lot of pundits talk about players needing game time but what he needs is coaching. He's the same player he was when he arrived on the scene, he's got no senior striker to learn from and is just plateuing.
Just don’t see it. I said it in the thread VS Abraham and I’ll say it again. In a title competing side Rashford would at best be a bench option. His level in the EPL is probably an Everton which is respectable but never Manchester United quality. I just don’t see it. No outstanding qualities as a striker or a winger besides his pace and an ok shot.
What he's definitely got is a footballing IQ problem.
Something seemed seriously off with him today, I don't think he'll make it here as a striker though. When Martial gets back where do we play him? We can't move James from LW, will we stick him on the right?
Rashford is definitely a problem. Feels to me like Ole's biggest mistake was promoting him to a position of seniority among the squad because the guy has some serious drawbacks and hasn't developed his game much over the past two years. Reckon he himself is feeling the pressure of having to lead the line now as something seems well and truly off.
Oh well.
Oh well.

We won't win anything with Marcus Rashford as our main striker.
A slower Agbonlahor, Ole saying he won't be at his peak until he's 27 is worrying, meaning we're going to have to endure 6 years of this shit? Buy a striker!
It's a convenient excuse for his poor form.
I won't write him off completely though as he is still so young.
He lacks quality and class. Couldn't shoot on his left, no ball skills to quickly shift to his right , got tackled.
Never seems to have the ball fully under control. Lower premiership level or upper championship.
Imo, he has not improved at all the last 3-4 years, and that is extremely worrisome. You can forgive 18 year junior players for making these kind of daft decisions on the pitch, but hes been a first team regular for 3 seasons now and should do a lot better
To be fair to Ole as deluded as he is, he was quicker to realise it than even Jose as he has since made Martial his first choice striker. Problem was not getting another striker or goal scoring winger or no 10
Utterly useless.
I think he’s going to be our Walcott.
He'd be a squad player for a genuinely top side. There's no way he should be an automatic first choice.
Just not a very good footballer.
It’s common sense really. Rashford has 3 in 24 goals from open play and you have fans trying to argue he is a striker? That stat shows you how incredibly average he is as a player. He has survived this long off bad transfer planning and incredible physique. He has the potential to be a good player who we utilize as a super sub in the future but relying on him to produce consistently will never happen.
This. Not a striker, not a winger, just a kick and run merchant.
But he is our Rashy. Rashy Rashy Rashy.
Squad player at best. Genuine lack of a footballing brain with terrible technique.
He's a slower Agbonlahor as someone pointed out with none of the fight.

So using the word 'couldn't' I assume you are talking about today's game.
I think we all know he is woefully out of form but to suggest that when he is on his game he lacks quality and class just comes across as slightly churlish.
He is 21 and already has 34 senior England caps and 30 goals in 117 PL games .. pretty impressive I would say.
I get the feeling he still thinks United is lucky to have a player of the same caliber as Mbappe around. A lot of players currently proving they aren't good enough for the club. This time there is nobody else to blame, so they have to face it themselves. Reality can be harsh.
He lost me when he was clear of the defender and tried to cut in v nobody. Hoe you can turn back into a defender when bearing fone on goal is beyond me
Sell him to spurs for 70 million or something
He's low on confidence, clearly had a knock and then came off injured. Let's all overreact though. He's 21, people shouldn't expect the finished product though unfortunately for him its what's expected from him now to have anything going for us this season. He'll be fine long term, though unfortunately for us now he'll be out for a bit.
This
Nightmare form he is in. If it's form only...
Hopefully the injury isn't too bad, possibly a fatigue injury since he is never rested, that aside it was another headless chicken performance.
