Manchester United 4-0 Chelsea: Hits and Flops, Premier League 2019-20

#1 Hit: Marcus Rashford

Rashford made a scintillating start to the season with a brace against Chelsea

Marcus Rashford made a fantastic start to his Premier League campaign with a brace against Chelsea.

Ole Gunnar Solksjaer started Rashford on the left flank, with Anthony Martial deployed as a striker. Both Rashford and Martial linked up well and interchanged positions on numerous occasions, making it difficult for Chelsea's defence to track their movement.

Rashford made a bursting run through the middle of Chelsea's defence and was brought down by Kurt Zouma in the 17th minute. He converted the resultant penalty with great ease, giving his side a valuable 1-0 lead at a stage when Chelsea was in control of the game.

The English international used his pace to devastating effect, and also caught Chelsea's defence off-guard with his well-timed runs, especially during the build-up to United's third goal. He finished off Pogba's delightfully weighted ball, slotting past Kepa Arrizabalaga for the third.

Rashford put in a solid performance, and it will give Solksjaer cause for optimism heading into the season, as Romelu Lukaku was sold to Inter Milan for a reported fee of £80 million without a replacement coming in.
