Manchester United are set to be boosted by the return of Marcus Rashford when they travel to face Leicester in the Premier League this weekend.
Rashford, 23, has been sidelined for almost three months after undergoing shoulder surgery but is nearing a return to action after impressing in training as of late.
The England international netted twice in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Blackburn last week and is understood to be raring to go ahead of the trip to Leicester.
Formation 1

With Cristiano Ronaldo the obvious choice for the No.9 role through the middle, which means putting Sancho on the right — where he thrived for Borussia Dortmund — and Rashford on the left. Surely sparks will fly, with Bruno Fernandes tucked into the No.10 position behind. Pogba can play plenty of games as the No.8 bursting from central midfield, and Solskjaer must be brave enough to pick Fred and Scott McTominay (despite fans’ criticism) when the situation dictates.
Okay, this front four may mean that Greenwood, Edinson Cavani and Anthony Martial are all restricted to roles on the bench, but that just speaks to the depth United now boast in attacking positions. Greenwood and Cavani in particular are game-changing options to bring on when needed, while Jesse Lingard is another versatile forward who can fulfil multiple positions when coming off the bench.
Formation 2

The beauty of United’s side this season is that they have an abundance of options at their disposal, but if they are to fulfil their potential it is crucial they find consistency in the weeks ahead.
Fernandes is the leading option in the No.10 role though it would be nice to see Lingard used there as a rotational choice when the luxury can be afforded. The England international deserves a start based on recent form but it is hard to see that ever actually happening.
United’s biggest dilemma comes on the left wing where Pogba plays his best, Martial returned with a goal against Everton and Sancho has played since his summer arrival. Despite the fierce competition Rashford is arguably the best fit and the side benefits from his mobile approach, which can see him perform all across the front three when required.
Greenwood has been the club’s most consistent forward this season and deserves to be starting on the right even if it is ahead of Sancho. Ronaldo is the only logical option through the middle though Cavani is an effective game changer and deserves minutes from the bench.
