Kelechi Iheanacho

From what I've seen, Iheanacho is the better player in every department barring pace.

I'm glad Kalechi isn't getting hyped up like Rashford is, it's not good for a young player's development.
 
Rashford has, partially due to circumstance, been given a run in the first team without interruption and it's helped his confidence enormously. He's more of an out and out striker than Ian. Very quick with an eye for goal. He won't be given the luxury of being a surprise package for much longer, that United team has a lot of quick young players though, their attitude is still questionable though, they've looked like fanny's on some of the occasions I've watched them and wouldn't be near top four if it wasn't for that freak of a keeper.
Ian is the more rounded player though and will end up playing 'just off' the main striker. He's got great feet, vision and can finish. I'm delighted with him, could be a truely outstanding player if he has the work ethic to go with it. Needs more game time now and a more prominent role next season.

Rashford is shite. He'll go out on loan and won't come back.

To be fair Rashford is decent, but not as good as Iheancho!

Not even being biased, but Kelechi > Rashford.

Better goals to minute ratio, and involves himself in open plays. Rashford can go missing in some games.

Kelechi > Bony

Why the man who makes the decisions has ignored that is anyone's guess.

I'm trying to figure it out . MP has hopefully opened his own eyes and intends to play him more . We will see on Tuesday
I think if iheanacho comes on early he can really influence that game . We shall see

Has there been any more home grown strikers since Paul Moulden?
 
Honestly want to wait until they both get a full season of starting at the top level. I love Nacho's movement and passing off the ball though. Paired with Aguero he could be amazing.
 
Nacho has been a stealth success, rising almost invisibly as he hasn't had a real run in the team. We have all known for a couple of seasons he's going to be really something.

The rest of the world will catch on next season.

Rashford looks really good as well, but I'm a Nacho Nacho Man.
 
Difficult to say. The stats for me are meaningless without some depth to them. For instance, how many of their goals have won games? How many of their assists have led to winning games?

I don't watch Rashford, so have little to go on. I've seen a lot of Iheanacho (well, as much as I could anyway), and like everything I've seen. He's got pace, he makes brilliant runs, and he can finish. He links up well with other players as well. I'm not going to mention the workrate, as they're both young, so that goes without saying.

For a Rag, I must admit that I don't particularly dislike Rashford, which is strange for me. He'll obviously get more attention as he's playing for the Rags, and he's English. In fact, he's taken a lot of press away from Martial!

I think they're both excellent young talents, only time will tell which one is better. The fact that they'll both have new managers next season will be interesting. Just going off my list ited knowledge, I think Mourinho has a weaker track record of bringing youngsters through than Guardiola, so hopefully Iheanacho will get his chances.

Comparison is tough to make at this stage because Rashford is playing from the start (but in a shit team that doesn't create much) and Nacho is generally coming on for a couple of minutes at the end in games we have already won and most of the team are waiting for the final whistle. From the small glimpses of Nacho we have had in situations where the game is still live he has looked very impressive and full of potential. Also on Rashford, I
think I read somewhere recently that he has a crazy high chance conversion ratio,
something like 50% while Kun is at about 20% which to me suggests he is going through a very purple patch and won't be
able to maintain this kind of goal scoring rate for long (those figures are probably
not accurate and I can't be arsed looking for the article but you get the point)

Edit: looked that up and Rashford is 50%, Messi is 17%

You call that developing strikers ??

Jason Beckford = 4 in 53
Mike Sheron = 24 in 100 for City and 126 in 490 career
Leon Mike = 5 in 50
Bradley Wright Phillips = 2 in 32 for City, 77 in 240 in England and 45 in 80 in USA
Ched Evans = 1 in 16 for City and 52 in 131 career
Ishmael Miller = 39 in 207

Not a great deal to crow about all told.

This.
He actually has a better goals per minute ratio than Aguero. Not statistically insignificant either as he now has 11 goals.
Shooting wise, he doesn't half pack a shot from such little backlift, more importantly when he does shoot it's almost always on target 15 shoots + a trick shoot assist (off his back) = 11 goals is phenomenal.
Yes he has pace but his runs are so intellegent and I really don't know where this excuse about him not keeping the ball comes from. Give him the ball and he rarely gives it away.
All in all I would suggest that he will become a WORLD class star and the fact that Pelleginii has used him so sparingly is pretty much a crime considering where we are in the League.

I'm very pleased for you.

From what I saw at the Derby I think Rashford is marginally stronger, yes.

I guess it's all a bit meaningless at the moment. Both will get stronger and better. Probably the most important aspect will be character and dedication and only time will tell.

As things stand I'm very happy with Nacho.
