Marcus Rashford debuted for Manchester United as a central striker before being pushed wide by Jose Mourinho as the Portuguese preferred to start with Romelu Lukaku as the central striker.

This season, Marcus Rashford has the opportunity to be Manchester United's lead striker following the departure of Romelu Lukaku, who has joined former Chelsea and Juventus manager Antonio Conte at Inter Milan. The Belgian finally has the opportunity to work with a coach he described as the best in the world.

Rashford has shown great promise during the preseason with great link-up play upfront alongside the rejuvenated French forward Anthony Martial who is also a beneficiary of Romelu Lukaku's departure as he gets his #9 shirt back.

The young English forward is tasked with spearheading Manchester United's attack this season and has been tipped to score more than 20 goals by many pundits, who feel that this could be the season that he is truly unleashed.
