Man Utd take on Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.
A good performance will be just as important as a good result when Manchester United welcome Nottingham Forest to Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.
With new signing Rasmus Hojlund still unable to make his debut because of injury, United's need to inject a new striker into their team has never been greater. Marcus Rashford has started both games through the middle and has failed to make any sort of impact.The England international, as has been demonstrated time and time again in recent years, is at his very best when stationed on the left wing.
Antony, Martial & Rashford If Ten Hag decides to go for what is, when each member is at full tilt, his strongest available front-three on paper, Anthony Martial needs to come into the side and spearhead the attack for the first time since May. There is no denying that the Frenchman's injury woes are a major concern, but he is worthy of being given an opportunity in the midst of this current dry spell in front of goal.
Rashford, regardless of who lines up on the right and through the middle, must be deployed on the left. United need their talisman back at his best, even if that means Alejandro Garnacho being axed to accommodate that. Pellistri is direct and a throwback to a winger of yesteryear. He deserves a chance, being deployed alongside two experienced figures in their best positions.
Supported by Pellistri and Rashford either side of him, he would have two willing runners, both of whom will create from the wide areas. After how ineffective Rashford has been through the middle, he needs to be back on the left, regardless of who starts on the right or through the middle.
