Arsenal v Manchester United - FA Cup Fourth Round
Solskjaer is spoilt for choice when it comes to the left-forward position. Rashford can play there, as can Alexis Sanchez. However, no one has been as effective as Anthony Martial down the left recently for Manchester United. The Frenchman has been the most consistent performer for United this season and brings a special touch to the left side. His finishing has massively improved and his partnership with Luke Shaw has been fascinating to watch ever since Solskjaer took over. But it is Martial's abilities to affect the game from the left as well as the center that makes him Solskjaer's favoured choice down the left.

Center Forward - Marcus Rashford
Leicester City v Manchester United - Premier League
The Englishman is Solskjaer's trump card, his secret weapon and the Norwegian has used his young No. 10 extremely well. Rashford, like Pogba, enjoys a degree of freedom that his talent demands. He has all the qualities that Solskjaer wants in his front man - he is fast, he is extremely skilful and has a venomous shot in him. And under his new manager's watchful eye, the English youngster has improved his finishing and has added a degree of confidence to his game, that is necessary for a successful goalscorer. As a result, Marcus Rashford is one of the most dangerous forwards in the Premier League in current form and he is Solskjaer's preferred choice to lead the Manchester United attack right now.

Deepungsu is a veteran football journalist who has been covering daily transfer roundups and news for over six years at Sportskeeda. He has written close to 9000 articles for the website, and has garnered over 19.5Million reads.
Deepungsu holds a PG degree in Microbiology and an MBA degree in Total Quality Management. He has an extensive two-decade long writing experience, which includes a decade of sports blogging. His writing prowess has even led his work getting cited on the legendary Franz Beckenbauer's Wikipedia page.
Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
