Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be forced to choose between Marcus Rashford and Romelu Lukaku when Manchester United return to Premier League action this weekend.

The Red Devils have been enjoying themselves at a warm weather training camp in Dubai this week, taking advantage of an eight-day break between matches.

But Solskjaer’s men face a tough first game back when they travel to face Tottenham at Wembley, with Spurs currently 10 points ahead of their rivals in the table.Interim manager Solskjaer will need to choose which of his senior strikers to deploy, with both in fine form for the Old Trafford club.

Rashford has emerged as the Norwegian’s first choice since taking over, scoring against Cardiff, Bournemouth and Newcastle.

Meanwhile, Lukaku missed the opening two matches of Solskjaer’s reign while on compassionate leave but has since scored in each of his last three appearances.

Rashford is most likely to lead the line due to his recent performances, flanked by Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard while Lukaku provides an option off the bench.

Elsewhere, Paul Pogba is in contention to start after shaking off a knock sustained during the 2-0 win over Newcastle.

The World Cup winner missed the FA Cup victory against Reading and was late flying out to Dubai after receiving extra treatment at Carrington.

However, Pogba is now back in full training and expected to be available against Spurs.

Eric Bailly will serve the final match of his suspension while Marcos Rojo is sidelined and Chris Smalling is doubtful, leaving Solskjaer short of options at centre-back.

Phil Jones suffered friction burns to his head against Reading but should be fit enough to line-up alongside Victor Lindelof while Nemanja MAtic and Ander Herrera are expected to anchor the midfield.
