Legendary striker Andy Cole isn't the only Manchester United fan getting excited about the upcoming 17/18 season.

He spent six years at Old Trafford in which he amassed 93 Premier League goals and nine major trophies.

The retired England international enjoyed spells at Blackburn, Fulham and Manchester City amongst others but failed to hit the highs of his time at Manchester United.

Many put some of his success in Manchester down to his incredible understand with Caribbean striker Dwight Yorke.

Yorke signed in 1998 and the duo immediately enjoyed amazing success in front of goal.

Manchester United secured a historic treble in Yorke and Cole's first magical season together, during which the pair netted 53 times between them.

These two are typically put alongside Henry and Bergkamp on top of the list of 'great Premier League partnerships'.

£75m signing Romelu Lukaku looks set to be the new 'main man' at Old Trafford after joining from Everton over the summer.

He's likely to be supported by 19-year-old wonderkid Marcus Rashford, who is widely regarded as one of the finest young footballers on the planet.

Cole posted on social media on Thursday afternoon, taking note of the shirt numbers worn by Lukaku and Rashford.

Manchester United fans are in for a treat if the new goal-getting duo can achieve anything close to the success Yorke and Cole achieved in their first season together.

With Sir Alex Ferguson at the helm, the 1998/1999 season is considered by many as the finest Manchester United campaign in the club's recent history.

Few will need reminding of the incredible stoppage time comeback against Bayern Munich which secured the famous treble.

Despite finishing sixth, Jose Mourinho's side will enter the Champions League group stage due to beating Ajax in the Europa League final.

The Reds won the Community Shield and the Capital One Cup earlier in the season and have the opportunity to win the UEFA Super Cup when they face Real Madrid next week.

Lukaku, 25, is expected to make his United debut and could be joined up front by the teenage sensation, Rashford.

Andy Cole believes "the future is bright". Facing the best team in the world, this could be their first chance to prove him right.
