Rashford or Martial?

Luckily Jose has a knack for developing young players so no doubt these two will flourish under his stewardship.

Indeed

Ousmane Dembele

I wonder if Martial's price tag has a subconscious influence?

I think they are both at a similar level, with slightly different skillsets.... Really, we should be slightly biased towards the local lad, utd fan, who has been with us since he was a kid... But that doesn't seem to be the case.

Anyway, we have both and i think both have a great chance of being top, top players

"but his all round game isn't on par with AM."

Hmmmm, aren't they just better at different things?

If you gave either a single chance to win a game, Rashford would be the man I'd pick.

I guess you could say Martial is better at making things happen though.

Where rashfords from holds no bearing on his ability when comparing the two. Yet another useless comment from you. You ever stop with them?

Which is why I said rashford was the better scorer and martial is the better player.

I think that some are under appreciating the technical side to Rashford's game. His link up play has been most enlightening area to his game. It is rare to find a striker that is a superb finisher and also a good provider. Even rarer to find one that also his lightening pace and can dribble. Don't get me wrong, Rashford will never be a Cantona, Bergkamp or Zola, but he is quite cute with the ball.

I think that people are also overlooking the fact that Martial is 2 years older than Rashford. How much will the latter develop in those 2 years? By the time, will he have surpassed where Martial is at now? Quite possibly. Either way, there is very little between them in terms of their ceiling in my opinion. Either one could have the better career, although I'd back Rashford over Martial to hit the heights at United. Martial may well need a move back to France due to personal reasons.

I just hope that we can hold on to them both for a good few years and that they are able to form a partnership. Its a shame that we aren't ever likely to play with two up top, as they really could rival Yorke and Cole in their pomp.

Don't see Rashford making it to be honest. Not enough to his game to be a long term threat

Martial is not a particularly difficult winger to deal with, but he has the 'potential' (that dreadfully over-used word again) to be some kind of centre foward.

Could see this in the euros when comprehensively outplayed by is team mate and world class superstar, Wayne Rooney.

Rashford when dribbles loses the ball a lot. His finishing is A1 but the rest of his game needs work. Given his age not surprising.
