​Man Utd manager Solskjaer plans Rashford-Martial rotation

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is planning to rotate Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford in the striker position.

With United possibly losing Romelu Lukaku this summer, as Inter Milan plot a move, it may be left to the two youngsters to lead the line for United.

Solskjaer spoke after their friendly win over Leeds and admitted both players can expect to get game time up front in the coming season.

"With Marcus, he can play along the frontline," Solskjaer said to reporters.

"Sometimes he likes to drift to the left, same with Anthony, both of them can play at nine and 11, also together as a pair as a nine and a 10, also sometimes on the right-hand side.

"For me, it's great to have forwards who rotate and say, 'he's on the right side and I'll be on the left side, or, 'he's through the middle, I'll be on the side'.

"I don't think we can nail them down to one position, because they're good footballers who can see space."
