What's Rashford's record?
- Published
How good is Marcus Rashford? It is a question that is quite difficult to pin down.
If going off goal contributions per season, he does not jump out as one of Manchester United's most important players.
Only three times in nine seasons has he broken the magical 20-goal barrier by which strikers are often judged.
Of course, during Erik ten Hag's first campaign in 2022-23, he was majestic - almost seeming to score every week on his way to a thunderous 30 goals.
Unfortunately, that type of end product has not continued.
In Rashford's defence, with seven already in 2024-25, he is on track to easily beat last season's meagre tally of eight goals scored and five assists. Yet, one gets the feeling United expect and need more from their number 10.
When he burst on to the scene in 2015-16, it was utterly spectacular - sadly, those flashes of brilliance have been all-too fleeting during his time at Old Trafford.
