#2 Marcus Rashford is looking in scintillating shape and form

Before the pre-season started, Solskjaer was talking about how Rashford can score over 20 goals this season and so far, the young Englishman has looked brilliant. He scored against Perth Glory with an instinctive finish and now against Leeds, he showed his quality again, rounding up two defenders before slotting it into the back of the net.

Both the goals showed different qualities that Rashford has and he fits into this system perfectly. Even if Romelu Lukaku doesn't leave this summer, Rashford is most certainly going to be Solskjaer's first choice and if he keeps this form up, who knows what's the ceiling for this talented Englishman.

#1 Angel Gomes and Mason Greenwood show what they could provide next season

Everyone knows that United are lacking a right-winger and now with only 3-4 weeks to go in the transfer window, I don't see United signing one. But after what we saw today from Greenwood, maybe United don't need a right-winger as the two games that Greenwood has played so far, he has looked phenomenal.

He also got a goal and it was because of his ability to find goalscoring positions. Also, in the second half, Angel Gomes looked a class apart in the number 10 role. His touches were brilliant and it was his link-up play with Tahith Chong that earned United the penalty for the fourth goal.

United's youngsters have been impressive so far and Solskjaer would have definitely loved it.
