As Ralf Rangnick prepared to take charge of his first Manchester derby on Sunday afternoon, Marcus Rashford was his only recognised striker. Edinson Cavani and Cristiano Ronaldo were both absent due to injuries, and Anthony Martial left the club on loan in January.
Despite the squad situation, Rashford started on the bench. Rangnick opted for 4-4-2, yet fielded Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes up front as his two most advanced attackers.
It was a bold tactical move, and one which epitomised Rashford's struggles over the past 12 months in particular. He looks like a shadow of his former self in a red shirt of late.
