Manchester United club legend Ryan Giggs enjoys watching the position battle between young Red Devils forwards Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford. Romelu Lukaku is the primary scoring option and center forward for this first place United team, but Rashford and Martial have been dangerous scoring threats this season as well.
United Manager Jose Mourinho has alternated starters, but both have been very effective, as apparently the position battle is motivating both to stay on top of their games.
Giggs sees a hypothetical situation where both young attackers could be on the pitch at the same time.
“The battle between Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial has been great to follow,” Giggs told Sky Sports in an interview.
“I could definitely see them in the same team, with Marcus being more of a natural centre-forward whereas Martial is more of a left-sided forward but can also play centrally.”
“They’ve got incredible pace so they are extremely dangerous, although to be considered top players they need to be scoring 20 goals a season.”
Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford have combined to score 10 goals thus far in 11 games across all competitions.
