Marcus Rashford has supported Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to keep the Manchester United manager at the end of the season, saying he has been “a massive help” in his development.
Rashford has netted six times in eight Premier League games under Solskjaer, double the tally he recorded in 14 matches under Mourinho this season.
His words, “For me, it’s been a massive help having that type of guidance around me,”
“But he’s been working with all of the players with everything he’s got, you can see even the defenders are improving, the midfield is improving, the team’s improved overall but we understand we can still take more steps forward.
“He has that know-how, the understanding, that’s the kind of thing you just pick off naturally off these type of people. Even not just out on the pitch, having conversations about it, it all adds up. It’s been a big turnaround. As long as we keep improving I don’t see why [he shouldn’t get the job permanently].”
“When we were in Dubai, we were having a bit of banter when the manager was speaking to me, Anthony [Martial] and Jesse [Lingard], and I just mentioned his goal in the Champions League final,”
“He was quick to let us understand that with what we have in this team, anything is possible and it’s not far-fetched to say we can recreate those moments.”
“I think nowadays, the time I’ve been developing, I’ve never wanted to be just a centre-forward,” he added. “I want to be able to adapt, play different positions, different systems, I don’t want to be just a centre-forward.”
