Manchester United have two strikers who have been at a high level, they will have to decide.

All season Erik ten Hag has decided to play with one striker, now with two players who are being productive it opens the door to change the tactical system, playing with two strikers is possibly viable for the Dutch manager, although it is also very risky to experiment in a crucial game.

Playing with both strikers does not guarantee a win, the players still need their teammates to get the ball to the strikers, so we will have to evaluate the situation with less than a day to go before facing Everton, a visit that will be very complicated and that will be another crucial test for Erik ten Hag's team.

He scored two goals, but was not happy with the team's performance

The last Premier League match was very complicated by the defeat in the Manchester derby, a very complicated visit that ended in an exhibition of the champion club of England, the team was very affected by that game and will try to reverse that situation in the coming games, now they will resume their activity in the Premier League on Sunday.

Anthony Martial has been back for a week and already has three goals in two games, both from the bench, and the other striker is 24-year-old Englishman Marcus Rashford, who has been chosen by the Dutch manager as the attacking face of the team. It will be a tough decision considering they have both players at a high level, Cristiano will be under a lot of pressure with his teammates.

Martial convinces with his performances, but Rashford is trusted by Erik ten Hag

Marcus Rashford has also been very effective, on Thursday he scored two goals off the bench and was very associative, much of the second half was played with all three strikers at the same time, the result was interesting, as, between Cristiano pulling marks on defenders and assisting, Martial coming on and scoring, and Rashford scoring a brace off the bench made for a good attacking display.
