Like Martial, Marcus Rashford's 2018/19 season was full of highs and lows. The Englishman struggled to hold on to place in the team at the start of the season and was also poor on the field. His goalscoring form had taken a hit by the time Mourinho had left, as Rasford managed to score just 3 goals in 14 appearances. But all that was soon to change.

The Norwegian’s appointment was a shot in the arm for the Englishman, who found his footing on the pitch and was prolific at the turn of the year, scoring 6 goals in 8 games. Sadly, like Martial, Rashford faded away towards the end of the season and finished the campaign in a whimper. The Englishman could only manage 10 goals in the league last season.

However, the United No. 10 should be looking forward to a fresh start this year. He has been given the freedom in attack and will be spearheading United’s front line this time. Rashford has been quick off the blocks this season, scoring a brace against Chelsea and should be aiming to better his tally from last season.
