Manchester United are currently on their pre-season tour in Bangkok and on Monday Erik ten Hag's side took part in an open training session. The manager took his side through a number of training drills before setting up a practice match between the players he has at his disposal.
One combination that United fans spotted saw Marcus Rashford on the left and Jadon Sancho on the right. Anthony Martial also played through the middle, finally showing the front-three that many expected the club to play under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Sancho was signed for £73m last summer from Borussia Dortmund but hardly got any time out on the right-hand side, with Ralf Rangnick preferring to play him on the left. But with Antony seemingly being priced out of a move by Ajax, Sancho may be asked to play on the right-hand side again and he might finally show his best form in a United shirt.

Rashford will also be hoping to get back to his best under Ten Hag. After an impressive 2020/21 season, he had surgery on a shoulder injury and he struggled to find his best form after returning, scoring just five goals in all competitions.
Some fans were even questioning whether Rashford would have a long-term future at Old Trafford due to his catastrophic drop-off, but many are willing to give him a chance. And one move in training seemed to get any doubters back on side.
United overloaded the left-hand side, drawing the makeshift defence in before switching the ball quickly over to the right-hand side where Sancho was standing in space. The 22-year-old winger then whipped the ball in as Rashford ran in late to get his head on the cross and fire past the goalkeeper.
With Cristiano Ronaldo having asked to leave, some players will have to step up to get the goals needed to win games. And based on that clip from training, Rashford and Sancho could be the men United are looking for.
It is, however, only a training session. The players are unlikely to have been playing at the highest intensity and a move that works flawlessly in training may not work as effectively in a real game. The Liverpool match on Tuesday will likely give us a good indicator as to whether we should expect more from the pair moving forward.
However, ahead of that game, United fans have been getting excited about the partnership on social media. Here are a few of the fans' thoughts from Twitter:
