Man United have a new strike partnership in development and Erik ten Hag’s two main threats are working to pull in the same direction.

Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund have been training outside the squad as the pair begin to form a relationship at Manchester United.

Hojlund arrived at United in the summer following a £72m signing from Atalanta. A back injury discovered during a medical examination forced the 20-year-old out of action for a month, but he has shown promise since making his Arsenal debut.

After an effort against Brighton was ruled out by VAR, Hojlund scored his first goal in Wednesday’s 4-3 Champions League loss to Bayern Munich.Both efforts were made by Rashford, who is looking forward to having a new No. 9 to work with.

“Honestly, I’m delighted,” Rashford told MUTV of his growing relationship with Hojlund. “Sometimes last year, during counter-attacks, when you looked up, you only saw the other team’s jersey and only the withdrawal was in effect for Bruno.

“This year you have to understand that the momentum has change.We talked, we did a lot of things off the field that even the coach didn’t know about, it was just between him and me.

“I just want to understand his style of play and he wants to understand my style of play as quickly as possible and so far it’s been going well. Obviously he was unlucky against Brighton to get denied denied, but at Bayern we combined to get his goal.

“I’m happy for him and it’s a relationship that will help both players, so I’m excited for future and I’m just happy that we have a lot of games and opportunities ahead of us to show who we are. Hopefully we get the next win and a few days after that to start building momentum.”
