Marcus Rashford has been grabbing headlines ever since his introduction to Louis van Gaal’s Manchester United side.
United’s local lad is currently living the dream, scoring seven goals in 13 appearances and delighting the Old Trafford faithful in the process.
But the blue side of Manchester reckon their own wonkerkid striker isn’t getting the attention he deserves.
At 19, Kelechi Iheanacho is only one year Rashford’s senior, and two goals in yesterday’s 4-0 victory over Stoke City takes the Nigerian’s own tally to 11 goals.
What’s more, Iheanacho has had considerably less time on the pitch.

Prickly City fans were quick to comment on the statistic, with many questioning why their impressive young hitman isn’t receiving the same level of hype as Rashford.
Iheanacho has more goals than Rashford, guess who is the phenomenon. LOL

Iheanacho is better than Martial & Rashford no question. Name another striker who can score a goal with bony as their striker partner

But United fans think Rashford is better than Iheanacho because he scored two in the Europa League vs FC Midtjylland
