Romelu Lukaku can fire Manchester United to glory
this season.
Jose Mourinho guided United to third place in the
Premier League last season, securing a return to
the Champions League, but a title tilt fizzled out
early in the campaign - hampered by a struggle to
break sides down at Old Trafford.
Their shot-shyness has been remedied somewhat
by the £75million capture of Lukaku, who scored
25 goals last season - a tally bettered only by
Harry Kane in the league.
Rashford and Lukaku are yet to play in tandem for
United, having taken turns to lead the line in either
half of their pre-season friendlies so far, but the
England striker is excited by the prospect of a
potential partnership.
"I think different games require different tactics and
it just gives the manager one extra thing to use,"
Rashford said.
"I think it's not only me and Romelu. We can play
with Anthony [Martial] and Romelu. We've got a
few different options that we can play. It widens our
chances of glory next season."
Lukaku enjoyed his best season to date with
Everton in 2016-17 and Rashford believes the
Belgian is ready to make the step up, having been
discarded by Mourinho at Chelsea in 2013.
Rashford added: "I think he's gone through a phase
in his career now and he's coming up to his prime
years and he's been scoring a lot of goals for the
last three or four years.
"He's in a good place in his career and probably
come here at the right time.
"I've only been playing up front for maybe two
years. We've only usually played one striker up
front in the academy, so it's different for me.
"Having two up front is definitely beneficial for me.
So once you get used to it and start to build
relationships and connections then it's a positive
formation to play."
