Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was delighted to see both of his main striking options getting on the scoresheet and suggested he may start fielding both Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford in the same starting line-up.
Rashford has been in scintillating form since Solskjaers return to Old Trafford and he has started ahead of the Belgium international in each of the caretaker boss first four games in charge.
Lukaku has returned to the bench after time away from the sport due to personal reasons but has banged two goals in when brought onto the pitch by the Norweigian and has handed him a selection headache.
But after the 2-0 win over Newcastle on Wednesday night, Solskjaer hinted at playing them both alongside each other up front.
You can play with two of them – no problem, he told Sky Sports.
One can play on the right, we can play two through the middle. It gives me options.

Rashford was satisfied that Uniteds hard work paid off against Rafael Benitezs side, adding: They were difficult to break down and it took longer than we would have liked. We had to keep working to get three points.
I want to improve my finishing.

Lukaku said: You have to be ready as a sub, thats what the manager asks of me. I knew that the goalkeeper might fumble it, you have to gamble.
Its totally different with the new manager, we are all learning from him, so far so good.
