He’s been arguably our best player this season yet he’s only back. Looks like the surgery and rest has done him a world of good.
The difference in work rate is huge but the biggest difference is his brain. He makes runs in and outside the box that Martial isn’t smart enough to doHe's in a completely different league to Martial. So good to have him back.

Definitely looks like his injury was more of a hinderance than we thought, as his finishing since coming back into the side has been top notch. In fact everything he does seems 2-3 yards quicker.
Took his goals really well this season. Is he now demoted to a bench option though if Ole persists with the 3-5-2?
Cavani would be ahead of either Ronaldo or Rashford if it was up to me. Think Ronaldo and Rashford would get into each others way tbh.I have a feeling he'll overtake Cavani pretty quickly, if for no reason other than Cavani can't start every game.
That along with his dead-stop urgency dwelling on the ball before the inevitable pass back is the most infuriating and limiting habits he has.Back to his worst again.
Numerous times when Shaw was carrying the ball forward, Rashford did his usual poor trick of closing his own team down, by not making a forward move or run, but idly moving backwards in the wrong direction along the touchline, killing the forward momentum, drawing defenders towards Shaw, causing him to stop with reduced options for a pass.
Ole said before the game that Rashford was still not fully fit, so why keep him on the pitch for 69 minute, when after the first quarter of an hour he started to look more and more of a dead weight, as the game went on.
Rashford was poor, but Ole’s decision making, in leaving his subs too late (again), was even worst.
