Solskjaer on Marcus Rashford
“What Marcus has done has been incredible with his family, with his own personality of course. Marcus has always been a great human being. Coming up through the Academy, I think the club recognised that early on and gave him chances. Of course we saw the talent, but you need to be a really good human being as well to come all the way through that. He’s changed the lives of so many kids this summer, which is more important than any game of football that he would probably play” Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Marcus Rashford.
The United winger has now moved on to 74 goals in all competitions for the club, with over half of those coming under the reign of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The 23-year old will hope to build on such performance he had last month, and become better gradually through the season.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will hope Rashford continue with his prowess in front of goals.
