Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford are two of the most in-form English players right now as they drag their clubs towards success this season.
Saka has come of age at Arsenal and could lead them to win the Premier League this season.
The Gunners have their best chance in two decades to end the hurt and the Euro 2020 finalist is their leading figure.
Rashford is also making life easier for new Manchester United boss, Erik Ten Hag, as they remain in the title race and can win three more trophies this season after their Carabao Cup success.
Asked about the two attackers, Emmanuel Petit said via Football365:
: “I would love to have them both on my team.
“Marcus Rashford was so miserable last season and he was losing his confidence, but now he is a completely different player and back to perfect standards. He is also very clinical.
“Saka, however, is very important for Arsenal and does great things on the pitch.
“I am a massive fan of Saka and the way he plays – I think he will be the captain of Arsenal in the years to come.
“Both players are so important and clinical for their clubs. I think they could compete for the Ballon d’Or, if they keep playing the way they are.
“I love the pair of them but as a Gunner I would stick with Bukayo Saka.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Rashford is one of the most in-form forwards in world football, but he cannot replace Saka, who has been terrific for us.
Both stars can coexist and it would be devastating to have them in one team, but Saka is our guy and we cannot trade him for anyone.

Saka all day long. Rashford has amazing purple patches but also has big long dips in form. Saka is more consistent and has much more to his game overall.
I am intrigued by your comments Yossarian, and while the article itself is of little importance, perhaps you could expand on the areas where you consider Saka to be superior to the “reborn” Rashford who has emerged from the doldrums big time?
IMO, I wouldn’t trade him for Mbappe.
Asking Gooners whether we would prefer Saka or Rashford is not a task that needs much thinking behind it, I honestly suggest!
Asking us would we prefer a dose of Covid to a season ticket at Spuds stadium might be a closer call though, even though for my personal choice if would be Covid all day long.
Haha. Now that’s a dilemma!
I’d take the season ticket……. and sell it.
But who to? Lunatics tend not to have much money!
Be great to have both, I have a feeling Rashford will refuse a new contract and goes elsewhere
We cannot trade Saka for anything. When AFC finally gets the appropriate role for Martinelli like we got for Xhaka and Ben White, you will never need RASHFORD in the AFC for any thing.
One has 10 goals and 9 assist, the other 14 goals and 3 assist.
And you rearly see one player marking Saka and his holdup play is fantastic.
You are talking about Arsenal’s consecutive player of the seasons
