Premier League 19/20: Manchester United's ideal forward line for the upcoming season

Center Forward - Marcus Rashford

Rashford will be leading the line for United this season

Solskjaer has clearly stated that Marcus Rashford is his preferred player for the center forward role. The Englishman might still be a little raw around the edges, but the qualities are there for everyone to see. Rashford was initially brilliant for Solskjaer after the Norwegian took over the caretaker role, however, like the rest of the team, he too faded away as the season reached its climax. Needless to say, he does have the perfect mentor to get back his scoring boots and stamp his authority in the league next season.

Manchester United have made a very promising start to preseason and Rashford's role in the team has been consequential. Rashford has shown the hunger that every center forward thrives on and he has looked in great shape as well. The Englishman is blessed with a stellar combination of speed and skills and there have also been signs of an understanding developing between him and Pogba. Rashford has also been timing his final runs beautifully so far and he will only improve as the season progresses.

Solskjaer's system demands a very mobile central striker, who can help the team establish a fast transition of the ball. This is one reason why Romelu Lukaku has not flourished under the Norwegian and also the main reason as to why Solskjaer wants to use Rashford as his main striker. All the Englishman has to do now is be ruthless in front of goal and break the 20-goal barrier in the upcoming season.
