Stunk the place out again... the few moments he did have actually came from the right as well.
 
He has to play because he’s better than Martial and we only really have one other option but he’s not playing well enough. Until either of them start playing well, Solskjaer should probably alternate between Martial and Rashford.
 
This guy plays for himself and has been for a long time.

I honestly believe that we'd be better off with a less "talented" player in his place but one that understands that this is a team sport.
 
Honestly don't understand any people on here rating Rashford. Useless with the ball game in game out.

His goals and assists are the only things keeping him on this team - but he's still a liability.

Shocking for a good while now.
 
Played really well on the right today. Two or three sensational crosses. Looked tired in the last 20 after playing 120 minutes in the week unfortunately.
 
His ego is becoming far bigger than the team. He needs to be brought to the fecking ground. Ole needs to either bench him or be harsh on him in training.
 
He needs to be dropped but he wont because the back-ups are just as bad. But he isn't anything special on the pitch.
 
Stop pissing around in front of goal and just sidefoot it in the corner you doofus idiot
 
He has become poor man's Cristiano Ronaldo unfortunately. For his and United sake, he has to simplify his game.
 
Said it before, but he still better on the right for me. His game is so much more selfish and predictable from the left. Even if it's theoretically better for him individually because he can cut onto his stronger foot, it's worse for the team unless he becomes Robben overnight. Needs to stop with the fake shots when he's literally right in front of goal also.
 
He'll never be a consistent performer or progress as a footballer under the current management.

Persisting with Ole will waste most of the talent we have.
 
Is it fair to say that most of this season Rashford has been 90% ineffective in a game, with his attempts to run past 5 people, 17 stepovers and inaccurate backheels, and 10% when he suddenly switches on and has a moment of brilliance where that one cross lands onto greenwood, or the perfect first touch and slot?

More recently so I have felt this, where he gets the lion share of the ball when up front, but 9/10 it's not an effective finish like a good cross or shot, but he breaks us down so often? Then that one chance he actually realises he has talent and can deliver those moments.

Very annoying because you know he will always be a starter, and he's going to frequently get the ball. However, if you don't realise it now, he will force things which just won't be productive.

No Martial did feck all. No key passes, no dribbles and basically no movement.

Rashford was one of our better players with the most successful dribble, 2nd most key passes and a few dangerous crosses no-one attacked, and now people are melting down because we drew and he lost the ball twice towards the end by forcing a shot and trying to force a dribble when 3 men were on him.

do people actually pay attention?
 
Put in a good a cross in the 1st half that the strikers should have done better with but outside of that was bad, again.

No reason he should be playing RW when Greenwood is obviously the better right sided player. Leave the two under performers to fight for the LW, Rashford's lucky Martial is playing worse this season.

Yes we watched the game. He was poor in the second half and would have been subbed of for martial if ole started greenwood like he should have
 
First off, he has been far worse than this so many times I've lost count. Generally didn't give the ball away and tried to make things happen.

On the downside, workrate - no none. Also the strops when he doesn't get exact ball he wants are back. At decisive moments some poor decision making again, but tbh that equally applied to Bruno today. Not one of our worst players on the day but still not good enough. I spent a long time rating Martial as a better prospect long term but I gave up hope today. Martial just not up for it - makes Rashford look like a workhorse.

Bit of a nasty day for a game of football against an absolutely soul destroying Allardyce special, but y'know that's why you get paid £250,000 a week. Do better.
 
Gets treated like a luxury player - quite literally has worse effort stats this year than James Rodriguez...worse than Ozil put up last year - yet he offers minimal luxury in return. Does absolutely zero in terms of pressing, harrying opponents or tracking back. Doesn't even attempt to contest 50/50 balls. His off-ball work is patchy at absolute best... dribbling likewise.

The 'goals and assists' argument is literally all there is at this point to defend him... and when you're being granted a luxury role in an attacking team near the top of the table, those numbers are the absolute bare minimum he should be putting up.

For all the 'position' arguements, the one thing he's done quite well recently is whip a few balls in - and they only come when he plays on the right.
 
Getting quite pissed off with him tbh. So selfish and makes terrible decisions over and over. More concerned with trying to sit his man down over and over than actually affecting the goal.
 
He over dribbles a lot which is annoying, but he is definitely effective from the left.

He shouldn't the same XI as Marital as the pair are way too inconsistent.
 
He was much better on the right today. Became shite once he moved out left which is the opposite of what many seem to tell us on here. Was just better than average and could have done without the pointless flicks.

Not according to this game. He was much better on the right.
 
I've always said he's not top top quality, and have been laughed at many times. I stand by this.

He'll have a couple of worldly performances, every one will start wanking about him, then he'll revert to being useless and selfish for a stretch of games.

He is like Pogba in that sense in my opinion.
 
Off form and looked rather uncertain. He did okay on the right but Greenwood looked better there.

He did feck all from the right apart from whip in a cross or two. Greenwood did more than him in about a 10 minute spell than he did.

He took on players and linked with Shaw much better from the left. Besides every good performance from him is from the left for a reason.
Today he was pretty rubbish on both flanks, but the whole team was rubbish I guess.
 
Nowadays when he is on the ball I prefer to look away for few seconds. Better option than feeling like tearing up your hair and scratching your face watching him being useless in promising positions.
 
It's like he's forgotten what to do in the box. Can't recall the last time he played and was getting clean shots off consistently.

He did nothing on the left other than run into players. On the right he at least seems to get his head up to try and put a ball in.

To be honest he just isn't good enough at the moment. Right or left.

Today he was shit overall it didn't really matter what side. Today is not the game to extrapolate where he's better from. Generally, it's obvious that he is far, far more effective from the left.

I agree he was shite today and has been ineffective of late. He offers more than Martial though - the best side should be him left, Cavani 9 and Greenwood right. Martial has no place in the team right now, for me.
 
He was shocking today, he’s become really selfish at times this season constantly trying to do it all on his own, attempting to dribble through half the opposition team and shoot but just gets dispossessed instead of getting his head up and looking for a teammate. That being said it definitely doesn’t help he’s constantly being moved out to the right where it clearly doesn’t suit him just to accommodate an out of form Martial, it’s a bizarre decision and one that’s on Ole.
