The England
star admitted that prior to Lukaku’s arrival at United this summer, they
had never crossed paths, which makes their on-field relationship even
more remarkable.
“It’s just clicked, we’ve got that understanding,” Rashford told MUTV.
“We’d never met before his arrival, and we didn’t know what each other
were like, but when we got on the pitch together we just knew where each
other was.
“Hopefully we can keep growing the relationship more
and more. Obviously it’s only in the early stages, and the better we get
at playing together, the better the results will be for the team.”
Some
fans have even drawn comparisons between Rashford and Lukaku and
United’s prolific strike pairing from the Treble era, Dwight Yorke and
Andy Cole. However, the 19-year-old striker was keen not to get ahead of
himself, despite being flattered by the comparison.
“It would be
great if we could be like them,” Rashford said. “But the most important
thing is for us to work for the team together.”
Jose Mourinho’s
Reds currently hold a 100 per cent record in the Premier League this
term, with three wins from three, but Rashford is under no illusions of
how tough a challenge maintaining that record will be when they travel
to the bet365 Stadium to face Stoke City on Saturday afternoon.
“Every
game has been tough in its own right,” Rashford added. “A lot of the
goals we’ve scored have been late in the game, and they’ve come from
sticking to what we believe in. We’ve got to go to Stoke with the right
attitude and mentality to make sure we get the three points.”
