IMO there is no doubt that Rashford and Martial depend on each other, maybe obvious as good players make the team even better. When Martial was injured, we struggled to score goals, then once he was back we scored good number of goals with both Rashford and Martial chipping with goals or assists in almost every game. Now with Rashford injured, we are back to where we started, struggling for goals.
Here is the breakdown.
With both of them starting, we have played 15 league games, scored 30 goals. Rashford scored or assisted 13 goals, Martial 11 goals.
Now with at least one of them missing, we really struggled to score goals, scoring just 6 goals in 7 games with Martial injured and 0 goals in 3 games with Rashford injured.
I knew this was always the case but didn't realize it was this bad.
Here is the breakdown.
