#3 Rashford and Pogba's deadly combination

Rashford and Pogba - Manchester United's trump cards

Paul Pogba's relations with Jose Mourinho was on the rocks this season whereas the Portuguese gaffer didn't trust Marcus Rashford enough. These factors slowly seeped through their performances on the field as both struggled during the first-half of the season.

But now, Pogba and Rashford, very contrastingly, are thriving in their best runs. In fact, in 10 games that they've started under Solskjaer, at least one of them has had a hand in nine of those.

The 21-year-old Englishman has become the searing spearhead of the team, netting six times and assisting twice. His precise finishing belies his tender age and predatory instincts inside the area can cause the most dreaded migraines to the defense.

Pogba, on the other hand, is finally liberated. He has been given the license to roam forward and get involved in the attack as he would like. This has seen him accrue eight goals, including three doubles, and lay three assists as well.

His current form is reminiscent of his heroics during France's successful World Cup campaign last summer, and is etching his name as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League this season.

Both are undoubtedly going to start against PSG on Tuesday, and if let unhindered, can wreak havoc in the PSG half, as the visitors have quiet a task to negotiate with.
