Choose your favourite answer:

a) They are both very good prospects. They've scored goals - including some important ones - and will hopefully be part of their respective clubs' first-team squads for the foreseeable future.

b) Iheanacho is clearly the better player, but nobody likes Manchester City, or foreigners, so he gets no credit while everyone raves about the over-hyped Englishman.

I haven't seen anywhere near enough of Iheanacho to give an honest opinion but i would say there is a key difference that has probably a big effect on how they have been viewed by the press and general public.

That being United were in dire need of a striker with Rooney injured and not good enough, Martial needed out wide (and also injured), Wilson out on loan and Keane back but also injured. He gave us great hope in a time of desperation and what he achieved was so unexpected but brilliant to see. City on the other hand already have Aguero and the need for Iheanacho has there for been so much less. Even so he seems to be doing well when given a chance and as I've said in an earlier article I like seeing youth brought through gradually and earning their spot with good performances, something that is more the case with Iheanacho than Rashford.

Both are valid answers.

Impossible to say who is best now, let alone in the future. Just hope they progress and keep fit.
I've not had chance to form an opinion on your boy but Rashford seems grounded at the moment.

Think neither of them will get a fair chance to play much. Mourinho never gives youth a chance and with Pep's budget I'm sure he will spend big on a backup striker for Aguero

Both cracking talents IMO.

Martial is much better than both

Both look a lot more than just flash in the pan. Futures bright for Manchester football. Rivalry will be intense for years to come.

Both have immense natural talent. I think Kelecchi inches it at the moment but that could well change in 2/3 years time.

Martial cost an arm and a leg, he should be better.

Too hard to tell which one is better. Interestingly Iheancho is showing that he can be used in cameo roles and still develop which might be handy for people who say that Rashford has to play every week next season.

Ahem, sterling, cough

Nah rashford is as good. Only difference is kelechi plays with much better players around him. He has aguero, silva, de bruyne setting him up

Rashford only really has martial

Rashford is one of top goalscorers and has made a huge impact to how we play.

Begs the question where was ineahacho on derby day?

Rashford is pretty average at the mo. And that is all I care about to be honest.

mind you, it seems that is enough to set the Jizzlobbers rampant these days.

"Detritus" and "jizzlobbers" - which the rest of us refer to as other United fans - IAmMe's on form today

No-one likes United, the team everyone wants to see beaten but Rashford seems a talent. He has benefited from United having less choice and Itchy has suffered from a manager who rarely gives youth a chance.

It seems to me LVG only turned to Rashford in desperation and got lucky. The boys done well but very early to see if he can continue to develop.
Itchy has been on the radar for a couple of seasons.
I know who I'd rather have and when we lose our Bony eyed manager he should progress further

Sat on the bench probably even more frustrated watching Bony walk around aimlessly than I was!

One player has been trusted and performed in matches that matter. The other is iheanacho

Only one is a mancunian. A real product of the club and city. A red.

Do the 'people's club' have a single mancunian in their squad?

Have they had one since Bobby Manc?

Nope

Brian Kidd is the only Mancunian associated with them and he alternates between red and blue, dependant on what side of the bed he wakes up on.

People are harsh on City. All this stuff about not promoting local youngsters when they've got a Kidd from Manchester on the bench every week.
