Romelu Lukaku’s departure earlier this month to Inter Milan could have left a goals void in the forward department that the Reds boss is backing his Anglo-French spearhead to fill.
While Lukaku was making his debut for Inter in a pre-season friendly against Serie D side Virtus Bergamo, Rashford and Martial were tearing Chelsea to ribbons at Old Trafford in the Premier League opening-day romp against Frank Lampard’s side.
A double, one from the penalty spot, for England international Rashford and one for his French sidekick Martial ensured United got off to an astonishing flyer.
Midfielder Andreas Pereira believes the pair’s barnstorming start was a huge booster.
