Happy for him. Keep it coming Rashford!!
Strong few mins in the beginning, faded away but he was always hiding in the RW waiting for a final ball.
It worked. One thing i loved about him today, he smiled. Maybe he finally got this is the joy in his life, football.

Still don't think he's the same player, but if he can at least have some confidence and keep the ball then it's very welcome to see.
Great contributions 2 games in a row now.
What do you guys think about him off the ball in the last two games? He’s still looking quite passive? If he hadn’t popped up with the goal how was the performance? I thought he was ok in both games? Not exactly busting a gut running around but in the right place at the right time. His finish against Brentford is our nicest goal in ages
He was hardly involved I agree. I didn't understand why he was played on the right after the first 5min on the left where he looked involved.
But at the end he scored from the right (same vs Brentford) so I'm fine with it. I still think he is better from the left.
He actually seemed to try today - he was closing down the oppo fullbacks high up the pitch when he came on- which is good to see. I think Ralf has managed this well, he's checked Rashford's ego and hopefully Marcus will maintain his focus for the rest of the season.
Literally says no other United player in the past 30 years has scored that many I guess all our players have been shit once it hits 90 minutes.
On the contrary. He is better as s revulsive option with a tired opposition.
Let's keep it that way.
Much better Rashford! Keep it up.
Chuffed for him. He's mint off the bench against a tiring defense
Precisely my thoughts.
Good on him though, good to see a smile for the first time in years
Hope he got his mojo back after these last few games. Good decision by RR benching him in the first place though.
His gradual improvement since being benched has shown RR was right to drop him. Respect to him for taking it the right way and working harder.
I'm not sure he bursts a gut to make that run into the box a month ago.

He was fine off the ball, players running round like headless chickens doesn’t make them great players. He worked hard and score again. I think he’ll benefit greatly from some extended coaching by Ralf and the new coaching team.
Actually i think it's better if he keeps coming off the bench around 60th min mark and cause issues to the oppo defense with his runs and directness
I'm not sure where he's been recently...
But I'm glad he is back!

Reminds me of his goal against Hull couple years ago, while his overall play is not back at his best yet, his ability to score a goal seems to have never left.
Slowly but surely he's getting back to his best

Just goes to show a woman can make you or break you. They are dangerous tools.
Yeah, that was created by Rooney, this was by Cavani. Two veteran strikers.
93rd United goal today in the 93rd minute.
Hopefully can get to 100 before the end of the season.

If he can stay fit he really should. Glad for him and hopefully this signals the start of a good run of goal scoring form
Exactly, it's eerily similar. Was it against Phelan's Hull?
Every single critic has always said he should be an impact sub. He should. He’s good at it
Very happy for him. 2 goals in 2 games now. Great confidence boost
Pretty much. The goal covers up what was otherwise a poor showing.
I was getting ready to rip into him because Martial looked more motivated when he came on and he wants to leave.
Two in two, and he looks a bit less uptight, I'd keep the supersub thing going for now.
This should be his niche for the foreseeable future. He wasn't that impactful up until the goal, but it was a smart run that got him free.
Highlights what a pillock you are then
Seeing him happy makes me happy
Was there something that happened in his private life that has been affecting his form?
He's had a bunch of late winners, hasn't he?
I missed the part of the Brentford game where he came , so can't speak to that. However, today I saw a part of Rashford that had been missing all season, he actually tried bit harder on and especially off the ball in terms of closing down for the time he was on. Not sure if it's watching Elanga getting minutes because of his effort and desire on the pitch that has maybe spurred this on, or the benching or the thing about his girlfriend but, there are signs of life outside of the goal today.
Don't think he should start yet even though Elanga to me didn't have the best of games today, the effort was still there on his part. Players should know that just scoring or getting an assist is not enough to earn back their starting spot, the rest of the effort to work for the team needs to be there as well.
Its a fair post. Or did you only read the part you snipped?
I see hunger in him again. Great to see
He was relatively anonymous but Rashford from a few games ago doesn’t score that because, after slowing to get the ball from Martial, he had to work really hard to get to Cavani’s ball. I was really happy with that ‘extra’ effort.
