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.

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.
