Manchester United 3-1 Huddersfield: 6 Men who were brilliant for Solskjaer in the Boxing Day fixture

#4 Marcus Rashford

Rashford was menacing even though he failed to find the back of the net

Solskjaer had to start his managerial career at Old Trafford without his number 9 as Romelu Lukaku was on compassionate leave. Against Huddersfield at Old Trafford, Solskjaer was dealt with another blow - Martial was absent as well. Without Martial and Lukaku in the squad, the responsibilities of leading the line fell to young Marcus Rashford and the youngster looked ready for the occasion.

Even though he did not score, Rashford looked menacing whenever he found the ball. He tormented the Huddersfield defence through the left and the right and showed skills and confidence that had Old Trafford gushing. He brilliantly set up Dalot after beating his marker from the left, however, the Portuguese fullback failed to find the back of the net.

Rashford was busy throughout the game and did get a few chances to score, however, it was not supposed to be his night. Solskjaer would still be impressed though, Rashford looked inspired and worked well with the team. His speed and trickery was deadly in the counter and even though he could not add to his tally on the night, Rashford was instrumental in United earning the three points
