The striker who if he is decisive, could be ready to play against Newcastle

Erik ten Hag declared at the start of the season that his star attacking player would be Marcus Rashford, the young Englishman who has been at Old Trafford for many years and who had low confidence was a great option for the manager. He saw in this player characteristics that made him stand out from the rest of Manchester United's attackers.

He could see that Cristiano wanted to leave the club because they had not qualified for the Champions League, and although he did not find space in any team, the player would miss the pre-season, something very serious for a newly arrived manager who wants to impose conditions on how the team will be in the following matches, was the origin of the current plan.

Cristiano is back in Erik ten Hag's starting eleven, but not scoring goals for this reason

For that reason Cristiano personally was out of rhythm, and at the same time he was a player with a secondary role as he did not belong to the starting eleven, he was not part of the strategy equation. The player went through a very difficult time in order to stand out, and the coach would not count on a piece of news that he had not considered. A player returning from loan could play in that position.

Anthony Martial is a player who had some very special moments at Old Trafford, and some very disastrous ones, many issues that did not give him a good performance at the club, plus injuries that has haunted him in recent years, the Frenchman has a very good quality and level, he returned from his loan with Sevilla and was available for the orders of Erik ten Hag.

Martial will return on Sunday against Newcastle, he has been relevant to the team

There is a chance we could see Martial recover from injury against Everton, after assisting Antony. He scored goals in the Omonia game, and in the Manchester derby. He could be of great help, as he has been involved in a lot of the attack in the short time he has been on the pitch, he will undoubtedly fight for the place that by statistics should belong to him, but the issue of injuries speaks more.
