Manchester United vs Liverpool: 5 men who hold the key for Solskjaer | Premier League 2018-19

#2 Marcus Rashford

Rashford is one of the best strikers in the league at the moment.

Marcus Rashford struggled to replicate the same form under Jose Mourinho which he did under Louis Van Gaal. The England international got used as a left winger, right winger and a center forward by the Portuguese which didn't allow Rashford to produce the best of his abilities.

However, once Solskjaer took charge, Rashford got promoted as the primary striker in the side which has done wonders to his confidence. He is more prolific in front of the goal now than he has ever been and is a nightmare for any defender to deal with his pace and trickery in the six-yard box.

It's likely that Rashford would start in the center forward position against Liverpool as well and would be a handful against the likes of Virgil Van Dijk and Fabinho at the back.

#1 Paul Pogba

Paul Pogba has turned his fortunes around at Old Trafford.

Pogba's performance so far has highlighted the difference between Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Frenchman has scored more than ten goals in the league this season which is a first in his career.

Paul is playing some of the best football of his life and was involved in most of the goals United scored under Solskjaer. His vision and passing ability are praiseworthy as well.

It's evident that Liverpool would try to use the strategy deployed by PSG against Pogba and try to choke him off his free-flowing football which makes it even more crucial for Solskjaer to outstrategize Klopp and find a way to let Paul dictate the midfield battle against Liverpool.
