Rashford predominantly played on the wings under former Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho but has now established himself as United’s new number one frontman, ahead of Romelu Lukaku. Speaking about Rashford last month, Solskjaer said: ‘He’s got frightening pace, he’s now become stronger, he can hold the ball up for us and he’s a great link player. ‘He can become a top, top one [striker]. We can talk about Harry Kane and his class, and I’m sure Marcus has got the potential to get up there. He’s been brought up here.’
Danny Murphy, the former Liverpool and England midfielder, believes the form of Rashford could force Lukaku to leave United in the summer. ‘I don’t think Lukaku will want to be a number two, he’ll want to be the main man somewhere,’ he told talkSPORT. ‘I think Rashford has become the main striker who plays in all the big games for Man United. ‘And I don’t think Lukaku is going to sit around as Rashford’s understudy, I think he could go in the summer.’
