I don't know what Rashford can potentially become, but I like much of what he offers in that CF role, especially the ability to interchange with Martial and Lingard and his mobility across the line.

Absolutely this.

He's the 2nd best player we've got. Love him.

If we were under Jose and he missed that one v one, we'd be defending Jose with 'he can't make Rashford score one v ones' shouts.... because it would be one of two chances we create in the entire £#%&!ing game.

Instead, we made moments like that the concession of a soft penalty not matter.

The lads been playing well recently tbf. I’m sure Ole can help improve the finishing. When I see him round the keeper I’ll start getting giddy

For the next six months at least, he’s definitely in the right hands. If Ole can’t teach him his trade no one can.

Agree re the thread. Absolutely repulsive effort.

Couple of things going for Rashford is speed, and a very good right foot. The jury is still out on him, his touch is iffy and why it still looks like he has puppy dog legs, meaning a little awkward with his touch and moves. As I said before, his trajectory is of Danny Welbeck.

I think he's got far more resolve than Welbeck. Mourinho has shown almost no faith in Rashford as a striker. Even signed a lummox like Lukaku to lead the line for the next five years. Yet Rashford continues to inspire us when needed, often still out of position.

Has the complete game with the added aspect of being versatile. Criminal that we didn't build a dynamic attack post 2016 Cup final with him and Martial. Maybe Mane or Aubameyang would have been ideal options. Can only imagine how much further along they'd be.

Giggsy was really staring deep into that interviewer from norwegian tv, can't blame him

The Welbeck comparison has always been rather lazy. Welbeck(a better player than most give him credit for, and has seen his post Utd career destroyed by injuries) does not have anywhere near the ingenuity and dexterity of footwork that Rashford shows. You are right to point out resolve, I like that he has put himself forward as a set piece option and is willing to have a pop from range, not things that Welbeck would ever have tried, marks of a player looking to improve.

Zlatan and Lukaku were awful choices if our desire was to aid the development of Rashford and Martial. It really should have been because 3 years ago they looked 2 of the most exciting young players in Europe, and giving them every opportunity to develop looked the way forward.

Just happy that Mou was not able to trade them in for Perisic and Willian to form his dream trio with Lukaku.
