Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag says Anthony Martial and Rasmus Hojlund could both start in attack in future.

The Dutchman has favoured Hojlund as his central striker since the Dane’s £72m arrival from Atalanta.
Martial only has one goal to his name so far this term, and that came in his last start against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup.
Hojlund’s three goals so far have come in the Champions League, with the Dane grabbing a brace in a 3-2 defeat to Galatasaray last time out.

But Ten Hag says the pair could play together in attack, as Martial is capable of playing from the left.
‘They can play together because Anthony Martial is also available to play from the side,’ said Ten Hag.
Nevertheless, Hojlund is expected to start against his former side FC Copenhagen on Tuesday.
It will be United’s first home game since the passing of Sir Bobby Charlton on Saturday at the age of 86.
