As quoted by the club’s official website, Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has delivered a hugely encouraging verdict on his partnership with Daniel James.
What did he say?
The pair were used as a strike duo in the clash against Liverpool, and it was James’ cross from the right-hand side that led to Rashford scoring the opening goal of the contest.
Speaking after the game, the latter gave a bit of an insight as to the kind of on-pitch relationship the duo had during the game, and hinted that there is more to come.

He said: “We had a bit of eye contact before. These are the fine margins we’re working with, so probably without looking at each other and getting that little connection we wouldn’t have got the goal. Instead, you’d miss which has happened a lot in the past. So yeah, it was a good goal, but we definitely want more.”
Partnership
Having been the topic of hot conversation for such a long time, Rashford has enjoyed a very fine week by his standards. After scoring a superb goal for England against Bulgaria whilst on international duty, the 21-year-old returned to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon against Liverpool and netted once more.

Whilst the Red Devils star can quite rightly be happy with his performance, it was his on-pitch relationship with James that really gives Ole Gunnar Solskjaer something to ponder about. The duo performed admirably at the top of United’s attack, causing all sorts of problems with their pace and movement in behind the Reds’ defence.
Goals have been hard to come by for United this season – they have now scored just ten times from their opening nine Premier League games – and it could prove crucial that their main men up top strike up a telepathic understanding. If Rashford and James can feed off each other, and compliment the other’s skills, then the Red Devils may have an intriguing solution to their goal-scoring worries.
