The front players on paper seem set to bring some excitement. They represent the kind of philosophy that Solskjaer is building at Old Trafford.

Anthony Martial is set to get more chances as the starting striker or left winger, in the wake of Romelu Lukaku's departure to Inter Milan. Martial was recently handed back the No. 9 shirt, which is an indication of his role and importance to the team.

New signing Daniel James is a speed merchant and has already given us a glimpse of the kind of player that he is. James was brought in to solve United's right wing problem, and he will be crucial in unlocking the Chelsea defence that lacks speed.

Also, United will be aware that the Blues are short of regular centre backs with David Luiz departing to Arsenal.

United's No. 10 Marcus Rashford is the poster boy of Solskjaer's project. The Norwegian has so much faith in Rashford that he made him the top striker, thus pushing Lukaku out of the team.

Rashford will be expected to lead the striking line and get the goals that the team needs this season.
