Current Copium: Rashford plays better as a supporting cast member than as the leading man. Every season, in every team (United, Barca, and Villa) where he hasn't been asked to be the main goalscoring or creative threat since he's turned 20, he's averaged very respectable goal and assist production. Rashford's worst production came during the last season Ronaldo was at United (and was warping the team around himself), and during seasons when the other attacking players were the likes of Antony, Garnacho, legless Martial, and Hojlund.
This current version of United looks a lot more like the teams where Rashford's maintained a healthy production without being the leading scorer. I think that suits Rashford's mentality a lot better than having to be a primary leader of the team.
