This is interesting because Rashford is often said to be similar to a young Ronaldo.

A few months ago I watched about 30 United games from 2003-05. The sheer amount of high volume creation from Ronaldo was incredible. He often looked for crosses, cutbacks, through passes etc. https://twitter.com/Lblk_93/status/1311266888144519169
What I mean by this is Ronaldo was far more of a creator than Rashford is now. It's just that Ronaldo was an insane talent and developed his goalscoring too. Rashford, however, is mostly focused on scoring himself. He's not the guy to give the ball to and say "create".
Can Rashford be coached? Probably. However, he doesn't have the proclivity to create. He's a shooter and focuses on that. It would take a lot of coaching him for to move away from that. I do have hope though unlike many others who seem to think he's not as good as he is.
