Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer joked that Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial remind him of himself and Teddy Sheringham after the pair scored in the win against Norwich City.
Rashford and Martial both missed penalties in a bizarre game at Carrow Road but responded by finding the net later on from open play in United's 3-1 victory, with the duo combining in the build-up for the Frenchman's goal.
For the first time since the opening day of the season - when they beat Chelsea 4-0 at Old Trafford - United scored one more than once in a game and are unbeaten in their last three games in all competitions.
The link-up play between the pair led to comparisons with former United strike duo Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole.
But the Norwegian had a different partnership from the club's 1999 treble-winning season in mind when the comparison was put to him.
"It's (like Teddy) Sheringham and Solskjaer!" he said after the game.
"It was great to see them link up. Of course we've missed Anthony in the last two months and it's great to have him back and him and Marcus - that partnership is just going to improve and grow.
"Sometimes we play the two of them, today we had Dan James as well - we had the three of them - so very happy and a great finish by Anthony."
But United's penalty problems resurfaced when first Rashford and then Martial had first-half spot-kicks saved by Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul.
It means the Red Devils have now taken seven penalties this season but converted only three.
Solskjaer admitted after the game VAR was wrong to award his side the first one for a foul on James, but also felt Krul should have been penalised for being off his line when he kept out both efforts.
"It's like the six-second rule with the keeper when he holds the ball in his hands, that was used for a couple of months and it's out of the window," he added.
