I agree. We've seen recently how Rashford has built up his physical strength to the point where he's barging defenders off the ball when cutting inside from the left: his goal against Wolves was a prime example. I think now he's ready to fill in at centre forward in some games as he has the tools to play with his back to goal. A front 3 of Sancho, Rashford and Antony (when they're all on form) is a tantalising prospect.

anyone seen this, talking about dropping Rashford for cup final

The definition of talking just to talk but even then his whole point is to drop Rashford (who is one of the most inform player in the league) to stop Trippier and his answer is Martial......

This guy must be braindead!
His point seems to be that Trippier is dangerous and he wants a more defensively sound winger on that side but then he prefers Sancho to Antony on the other side.

Ricky has a massive agenda against Rashford and Bruno. Always has and always will.
The guy wanted to start Dan James every game as well.
Man Utd 2:2 Leeds United
If Sancho can keep this up on the left, I'm more than happy for him to play up front
Can’t start him on the right again. Our best player at the minute. Start him where’s at his best, on the left or up front. Too good at the minute to move him to accommodate others. We pretty much took our best player out of the game for the first 45 mins
Fantastic header
What a leap for that header. Shame we wasted 45 minutes with him on the right.
Another game where he scores playing as a striker, a wrong decision to play Weghorst instead of him up front.
He was MOTM stats wise. His hold up play is fantastic as well.
Rashford on the right was a wasted 45 minutes. Our best player should play in his best role.
No idea why we wasted a full half of playing him RW anyway lovely goal but hopefully that means the end of Rashford out right. Push comes to shove he could play down the middle but if Wout is playing the left should be his by default.
Pure insanity to play our best attacking player in his worst position. Really poor by EtH.
He should play upfront until the end of the season.
Let Garnacho/Sancho/Pellistri/Antony etc fight out for the wings.

This should never happen.
Taking Rashford away from the LW to play as the CF is fine but he's just not good out on the right for us.
I think we should keep him as our CF until Martial is fit at the bare minimum.

It's remarkable that it was only minutes after being shifted to Weghorst's position that he did was Wout is supposed to do - head in a cross.
There isn't much he can't do these days. And his goal stats will always look less impressive than they are, because he so rarely (or never) gets a hattrick against cannon fodder to pad his stats. All of his goals seem to count for something.

It feels like he's still suffering from his reputation from previous years that he's poor up front and needs to play on the left.
He's electric on both the left and up front at the minute. Every time he's moved up front mid-game he scores.
His best position is irrelevant at this point we just need to make sure weghorst is on the bench. Sancho/Garnacho/Antony can cover the wings until Martial is back in the team.
Please God keep him away from the right wing.

Wow he chose to not only leave Rashford out of the final but thought it would be a good idea to play Martial on left wing instead where he’s not played for over 2 years!
Only two goals away from matching his best season tally at the club.
20 plus goals in 3 of the last 4 seasons. And some lunatic here claimed he wasn’t a 20 goal a season player.
Feel like he's progressed massively through the middle but we've been so short of attackers that we haven't had the chance to play him there when Martials been out.
Would like to see Sancho - Rashford - Antony front 3 these next games

That's just saying that he should play upfront for the rest of the season.
Which, with the way it's going, I agree wholeheartedly
You familiar with this guy?
So forever then..
Yeah. He features on The United Stand every now and again. Haven't watched as much this season, but I saw him on there the prior two. He always loved certain players (Martial, Mata, Matic, James, McT, VDB, Sancho). Massively disliked others (Rashford, Bruno, Pogba, AWB, Fred).You familiar with this guy?
I guess he's like a lot of fans nowadays. He has obvious favourites and refuses to give praise to the players he doesn't like. Holds an agenda.
Our football improved with an actual RW out there and with Rashford in place of Weghorst up top, so we got into better crossing positions.
His effectivity playing up front increases dramatically with a playmaker in the front three, especially when Sancho starts to resemble the player he was at Dortmund.
He was poor at the beginning of this season in the 9 position. It's not a reputation at all as it didn't suit him and he wasn't natural at it. He's improved a lot more recently though (like literal last few months) as he's enjoying taking more responsibility and obviously has supreme confidence.
Yup this also.
I agree, that front trio would be my pick also.
It's amazing. This is the Rashford we wanted to see. Becoming the best player that he can be.
Just play him as a 9 until Martial is fit.
Is what you ment to say
Great goal.
That's three headed goals this season, a vast improvement.
According to PL stats of the 70 goals he's scored in the Premier League, 6 have been headers.

I wonder how many goals in his entire career he's scored from the right hand side of the pitch.
Ironically he scored two at the worldcup from the right.
Brilliant header.
He was not at his best on the ball but he is always such a threat in behind that it pins teams back, unfortunate to be hacked down when he was bursting past 2 of there players to run clear as he scores or creates something in 8 out of 10 of those situations.

Rashford should be starting as a striker now that Sancho is back. I'm really impressed with how good of a striker he is now. I believe that might be down to how strong he is now and he's more composed now.
