They haven't, his touch / vision / hold up play / heading has been top notch. He can't run in behind and a few times on Saturday a quicker player would have been in but hey ho. I love Rashford but he would not have been able to adjust his body and slot that volley so it's give and take.

His touch wasn't quite there on Saturday either tbf but I have too assume that's the only time you've watched him this season

Ibra at 10 and Rashford in front would be the only way I would change it tbh of we are changing the top.

Flicked back heel to put Rooney through at Bournemouth

Bicycle kick out of nowhere that just missed the post v Southampton

Clipped cross to put martial in against Southampton


Header from about 14 yards with the ball just behind him that went narrowly over at Hull

Towering header to win the game v Leicester

25 yarder v Bournemouth

Towering header to open the scoring against Southampton

as £#%&! pen v Southampton

Brilliantly calm and accurate goal on Saturday


Yep, bang average.

Here's a wacky idea: play both really good strikers.

indeed. ibra needs players like rashford, martial on a good day and mkhit around him (so does rooney if he is to be anything other than a puffing duck).

rashford doesn't really need anyone else to look good, though.

I'd eat that, sounds nice.

The walking wardrobe #IamZlatan up front looks like how Sheringham would've looked as our main no.9......But worse!

Play Rashford Jose!!

Um......he did??

The same Van Nistelrooy who then went and scored 60 odd goals in 2 and a half seasons for Real Madrid?

Not doubting his record...The TEAM just played our best football with him out of the team. Saha (like Rashford would do IMO) provided the team better movement, pace and pressing from the front. Making us a more dangerous attacking/counter attacking unit.

With Ruud and now Zlatan spearheading our attack the oppostion can press high up the pitch, knowing we don't have the capability to run in behind. We are very predictable

You're very predictable you absolute £#%&!ing shit stain and bearing in mind I've no idea who you are then you must be a helmet of epic proportions for me to work you out so quickly.

Who cares what he did after?

We won three leagues in a row and the European cup.

Saha was a far better option for us because of his all round game & mobility.

As for Zlatan, his inability to score when put through on goal with a headstart on their defenders was disappointing. Hard to imagine Aguero not capitalising on that.

He seems good at bringing others into play though so perhaps should drop deeper where his pace is less important.

Loved that early tussle with Huth. Held him off as if it was Luke Chadwick and came away with the ball.

Wonder if his yeezys are snides?

He is such a menace, their defenders struggle with him all the match, you gotta love him.

Was terrific today really good interplay as well as getting shots off.
