If the laws of the game say that Rashford isn't interfering with play for that goal then the law needs changing.
This is the thing here.
If the laws as they stand say he’s not interfering then the goal has to be given, but that also means the law is an ass. You can’t say Rashford’s presence didn’t affect the behaviour of the defence.

Doesn't the law involve making a movement towards the ball?
Anyway, who wants to see City win the league again? Dull!
He does?
He literally shaped up to shoot and then left it for Fernandes. There's no justification for that decision other than pure intimidation by the United players.

You can be offside for interfering with an opponent too, they were clearly trying to defend against him too before he left it for Fernandes, I don't see how he wasn't offside.

Ah, but did he attempt to play the ball?
He blocks the Man City defender from intercepting the ball. They change their behaviour based from his movement.
He moves towards the ball purely to attempt to play the ball.
Offside rule needs to change back to where it has been years gone by. If a player if offside they are offside. Maybe ok if they are coming back & having no intention to be part of the play but to run after the ball or be in a position that the defender is aware you are there then its offside.

The officials would have been slagged off whether giving or disallowing the 'goal' but the question is:
If Rashford hadn't shielded/ carried on his run, could one of the defenders have made a challenge even if it meant taking a booking. I would say yes.
Who would be a referee or VAR.
Bored of them winning everything all the time.

Chuks Aneke get the same knock and is out for 12 weeks 🤦🏻♂️
Good summing up your Lordship.
Have you seen who is top of the bloody league?
You know when you get that sinking feeling no one is catching them? FML.
All going off at the bottom as well.
