Manchester United: 5 points to note from the Red Devils' pre-season tour

#2 Rashford in front, but who will play on the wings?

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United

It is going to be exciting to see which players start in the wing-forward positions for Manchester United come next season. We already know that Marcus Rashford is likely starting for United as a striker for the season, but who will partner him up front?

Mason Greenwood has already shown that he’s ready to take up the right-wing position and the manager has been encouraging him to. Though not impressive as he’s been in other games on tour, he's had his chances on the right and didn’t do much wrong.

On the left, where competition abounds with Anthony Martial and Daniel James (and if he stays, Alexis Sanchez) available to play compete to start. Against Tottenham, it was James that got the nod, while Martial started the game centrally.

With Rashford already the main striker as things stand, Martial will have to take up a place on the wings. That leaves Daniel James, who has been impressive, to fill in the other wing. While James is an old-school winger who likes to spread the field, attack with speed, and deliver crosses, he may just have to occupy the right side of the forward line.

Martial is quite comfortable on the left and judging by the tour he’s had, this may end up being his being season for United. Solskjaer will want to play him on the left and have him and James run at opposition with Rashford down the middle
