Rashford's goal for Man United against Burton Albion
That is the view of former Manchester United defender-turned-pundit Phil Neville.
Both Rashford and Martial have been vying for the left-wing position this season, with Romelu Lukaku spearheading the attack.
The duo have enjoyed and impressive start to the season, weighing in with nine goals between them already in all competitions
Jose Mourinho has interchanged between Marcus Rashford and Martial so far and both of them scored in the 4-1 win over Burton Albion in the Carabao Cup at Old Trafford.

But Neville reckons if Mourinho had to pick between the two for the left-wing spot at Manchester United, he would pick Rashford.
When asked who he would pick between Rashford and Martial, Neville told Sky Sports’ The Debate: “Yeah I think he’s ahead of Martial.
“If you were picking United’s best starting XI, at this moment in time Rashford plays on the left.
“Martial is doing well, he’s improved, he’s only 21 and it’s a good battle.

“I think what’s happened this year they’re actually spurring each other on.”
Up next for United is a Premier League clash with Southampton at St Mary’s on Saturday (3pm).
A win here would see United maintain their unbeaten start to the season and consolidate their place at the top of the table.
