Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the battle between Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial to end the season as top goalscorer will benefit them in their Europa League quest.

Martial has scored 23 goals this season, while strike ­partner Rashford has 22.

Solskjaer said, “There's no ­battle between them.

“You can see how Anthony and Marcus play together and they are always willing to give each other the gift or present of an open goal. They always look to assist each other.

“For me, there can never be a battle between players within a team. We all have one common cause – to win.

“If I ever sense players ­playing for themselves, their own accolades and personal awards, I won't have them in the team.

“It's as straight, simple and as plain as that. I don't want egos. I don't want players thinking about themselves ­before the team.

“It can't be about one player thinking he is going to score more than someone else. No. If you win as a team it doesn't matter if you have scored 30, 25 or 15 goals.

“It only matters that you have contributed."
