Why Manchester United trio Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood could start more often

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hopes to start Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood together more often after Martial ended his Premier League drought.

The trio lined up in the league for the first time since the 6-1 trouncing by Tottenham on October 4 when Martial was sent off in the first-half.

Martial's three-match domestic suspension preceded a poor spell of form for the Frenchman, who scored his first league goal since July in the 3-2 win at Sheffield United.

Rashford's double took him above Bruno Fernandes to become United's highest scorer this season on 12 and Greenwood netted his first league goal of the campaign at West Ham two weeks ago.

"I don't think it's just a key to get them on the pitch," Solskjaer said. "It's key to get them all on the pitch, playing well and performing.

"I said before the game today we need them to kick on, we need them to start scoring goals, because we've done okay without them really firing and tonight they showed their capabilities.

"Now we need that consistency again and again. Very happy with all three of them.

"You need to look at who's fit, obviously. You might get injuries, you need to look at opponents as well, and whoever performs, you've got to go one game at a time.

"Every game now is a cup final. It's going to be relentless with game after game after game. But when you perform well, play well and win you can't wait for the next one and the next one's a big one for us."
