This season Martial has played 131 minutes of Premier League football and come out with a return of 3 goals and 1 assist. Each of the games he came on a sub saw Rashford play from the start and iffy decision making or not - there needs to be a discussion to be had regarding that, but he's a young lad and on a constant upward learning curve - he runs his fullbacks, and centre-backs, ragged allowing Martial to come in and utterly terrorise them.

The one game Martial started in his stead, Rashford came on... and scored.

While there will be a lot of moaning and whining regarding Mourinho's unwillingness to play the two of them together; the manager has found a way to get the best out of them - for the team, and in the end isn't that what matters most?
