Manchester United have a problem with two of their four wingers

After scoring his 100th goal for Manchester United in the 1-0 victory over West Ham United on Sunday afternoon, the focus was, understandably, on Marcus Rashford. The England international, who is the club's top goalscorer this term, continued his impressive start to the campaign as Erik ten Hag's side secured an important victory.

It was the 25-year-old's seventh goal of the campaign in all competitions, with the England international also registering three assists in his first 15 matches. Following an underwhelming season last term, Rashford is rediscovering his best form and has helped Erik ten Hag's side to fifth in the Premier League and through to the knockout stages of the Europa League.

While Rashford has enjoyed a strong start, his fellow academy graduate Anthony Elanga has struggled to deliver. The signing of Antony this summer, and arrival of Jadon Sancho last year, has somewhat stunted his progression and opportunities, but the Sweden international has been underwhelming so far this season.
