I can’t tell if his decision making is getting worst or just getting more selfish.

Didn’t convert but really enjoyed his play in & around the box today.
Looked a bit sulky tonight but showed some lovely footwork on the edge of the box but just lacked that precision.
Absolutely horrendous tonight, hard to watch. It's as if on some games he forgets his football IQ in the dressing room. That being said he made massive improvements to his ball control.
Please let him get some rest for the cup games. Running on fumes by the looks of it.
Yep. Give him a rest.
The most accurate thing anyone can say about Rashford is that he's extraordinarily talented with a penchant for both the sublime and the atrocious in equal measure. His individual moments of brilliant often obscure his frequent moments of poor decision making. There are alternative outcomes that might result in more goals if Marcus saw, or attempted the unselfish pass instead of persisting with bundling through crowds of defenders. He doesn't often realise that he draws groups of defenders to him..........and since he often doesn't recognise that he doesn't see the space it leaves for other players to finish counter-attacks.
He needs to realize that we aren't depending on him doing something spectacular all the time, like we have in earlier seasons. He doesn't strike me as a particularly selfish player in general, but lately he has taken the wrong decision too many times. I think he overthinks his role and the situations he gets in on the pitch. I expect him too grow from it though, so I am not conserned. But we need more competition in his position. Might be the thing we are missing to get him more focussed and disciplined in games like today.
A bit selfish tonight, should've passed to others instead of going for glory all the time. But he was busy and cuased the villa defenders issues
Exactly. Isn’t always going to come off but he needs to keep trying because his pace and skill is causing all sorts of problems for opposition defenders.
Looks knackered to me but he's always a threat.
For me he lacks composure when shooting. Does the hard work and then just seems intent on mullering the ball as hard as possible. Needs to calm down a bit in front of goal imo.
His decision making was terrible. Rashford last season developed a playmaking ability after the break.
But, this season, he seems to abandon it and back to his selfish habits lately.

If he was playing for real Madrid and doing some of the skills he was doing and all around tormenting defenders (that bit of skill he did to get the ball onto his right for example), we would want him so much at our club.
He must find a balance between being selfish and being striker selfish.
People make out he's taking shots when there's a team mate with a tap in available 
People need to start realising he's getting to that top tier level now and with that is a degree of selfishness, he's no different to Bruno in that respect. If he doesn't take these shots on you don't get match winners like against Wolves

Definitely, he’s one of the most exciting players in Europe at the moment.
This is all out drivel! Have some respect for Bobby Charlton, George Best, Scholes & Giggs.
He has the tools to be great, his decision making is still very lacking -- so he is more of a disorganised tool box.
Let me rephrase, "absolutely shockingly horrendous tonight".
He made plenty of decent passes today, beat his man quite a few times, and on a different day definitely could have scored at least once.
I honestly don’t know what people are expecting sometimes.
Completely agree, it’s easy from the sky cameras to see a pass, but where he is it’s tough, and honestly I want him to be selfish, sometimes it doesn’t come off but oh my god he’s a nightmare for a defender.People make out he's taking shots when there's a team mate with a tap in available

Selfish Rashford is worst Rashford
This is how he usually plays when hes low on confidence and has not scored in a while, but this was pretty bad from him. I like players taking responsibility and taking chances, but he tends to go a bit overboard with it and its not like hes aware at all of the players around him
There was one moment in first half when there was a loose ball at the edge of their box, Rashford has his back turned towards goal and Martial comes towards it ready to shoot and Marcus seemingly snatches it right before him and tries to turn into the defender instead of leaving it to his teammate
Really enjoyed how he picked it up deep and ran with momentum at his full back. Some quality nutmegs as well which were utter filth - and I like how he cuts in and drives into the space fluidly... just needs to perfect that weak foot shooting and he will be a threat on the right more often than not.
Not sure how you can call that a horrendous performance - a typical Rashford performance which has lots of errors but still looked very dangerous and carried ball well and got some dangerous shots off.

The way he was selfishly hoarding all the balls in the attack, one would think he's a 9th century viking warrior hoarding goodies for the afterlife
We expect a talent like Rashford to make better decisions. What were those plenty of decent passes that helped us create or score?
It was like watching peak Ronaldo trying to raid a whole defense alone at times. But, yeah obviously, Rashford is not that good yet.
Honestly, I don’t know what planet you and a few others who’ve posted in here in this last page are on.
I can only conclude that a lot of people are expecting Rashford to produce peak Messi level performances every week to not come in here and completely trash his performance.
His dribbling seems to have gone up a notch this season.
Ye, ye, bugger off.
Rolled my eyes when there was a potential lay-off for Martial to strike it ,only for Rashford to get the ball and needlessly dribble into 3 players.

The Wolves play was a measured gamble considering our state in the game, but he is deliberately, childishly refusing to play in his fellow attackers. That will be his downfall because not only will he be frustrating to the fans but also to his teammates.
Was a real live wire tonight, such a threat running at players and I like he’s looking dangerous when coming from the right. Only thing missing was a goal but that can’t be expected every game. His end product has been great this season otherwise.
That's the best example you could come up with that demonstrates this so called selfishness? Him getting in the way of a someone running onto a shot?
I can’t be bothered arguing about it. He definitely played a through few balls that should have led to better crosses. He hit a screamer a yard over and on another day may have hit two other self made chances better and scored.
It’s just criticism for the sake of it. Bruno played no better if you take away the pen.
He’s matured. You can tell he’s beating players one on one now purely on experience. He’s creating space for himself with a lot less effort which is great to see - because this was the exact moment C Ronaldo went from a highly entertaining athletic prospect to a goal scoring machine
Some nice one touch passing but mixed in with some frustrating head down moments.
It was just not in this game. He has been a bit like that for a few games in a row. It is good that he scored a few decisive goals.
The criticism for him is more like he could have helped the team score more if he does it or does that 10 times in a game. Not like he is shit and we need to replace him.
Obviously, he is a smart lad. He will figure it out. I just hope he gets the balance right as it would give the team so much help with wasting too much chances while attacking.
If your attacking mates realise that you are selfish, they become hesitant combining with you, they let you combine with defenders - it's a path he does not want to choose because he will most likely fail.
If you have played the game amateur / semi-pro such dynamics happen, they are worse when playing pro as evidently witnessed recently from Benzema's hot mic convo in the tunnel about not passing to a selfish mate.
Excessive use of smilies
