Paul Scholes drops two Erik ten Hag favourites as he names his Man United front-three vs Everton

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes is backing Anthony Martial, Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcus Rashford to form manager Erik ten Hag's front-three against Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday evening.

Scholes made the admission after watching the trio contribute to United's 3-2 win over Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League on Thursday evening. After seeing his side head into half-time 1-0 down, Ten Hag made a double substitution at the break, taking off Tyrell Malacia and Jadon Sancho in place of Luke Shaw and Rashford.

The Dutchman's decision to throw on Rashford proved a masterstroke, as he scored twice and grabbed an assist to help United record a second consecutive Europa League win. Martial, who stepped off the bench just past the hour mark, scored just a minute after coming on, meaning he has now scored three goals in his last two matches.
