Man Utd on Rashford: Marcus Rashford has been impressive for Manchester United under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Manchester United are terrific in Solskjaer’s charge so far. The side is yet to drop points in the Premier League and advanced to fourth round in the FA Cup under Solskjaer, without a single defeat so far.
Marcus Rashford has been particularly impressive among the attackers, as the English youngster has scored five goals in six Premier League games under Solskjaer.
Solskjaer has appreciated Rashford on multiple occasions in the press conference, and even stated after the game against Brighton last week that he is the best Premier League striker on current form in the absence of Harry Kane.
And now, Manchester United has responded to a tweet in which a fan has praised Rashford for his brilliant individual goal against Brighton.
Man Utd on Rashford:
Rashford scored an incredible goal from a difficult angle to double the lead for the side in the game against Brighton on Saturday.
Diogo Dalot found Rashford with a brilliant half before the Manchester United youngster dribbled past the defender to exquisitely finish the move with a brilliant goal.
Here’s what the fan tweeted after the goal:
How am I supposed to tell my children that Rashford really put this in the top corner from this angle with that body shape? pic.twitter.com/JD0ZoESrR2

However, Manchester United had a cheeky reply to the tweet:
We’ll vouch for you 👍

Rashford has scored 8 goals in the Premier League. Five of them have come under Solskjaer, which shows the improvement the Norwegian caretaker manager has made in the forward.
The 21-year old Englishman became the first-team starter after inconsistent performances from Romelu Lukaku. However, Solskjaer has addressed the importance of the Belgian striker in the team and has often used him as a substitute in his time as the manager so far.
Ole: “If you look at the stats, I was told that he (Rashford) is younger than Ronaldo and Rooney to reach 150 appearances for Manchester United. Not bad, is it?” #mufc [Mail]

Ole: “Him (Rashford) and Jesse, I’ve got to say, you like those proper Mancs. I worked with Jesse and saw Marcus coming through, they enjoy each other’s company, they socialise quite a bit. When we travel they are always together.” #mufc [MEN]

What next?
Manchester United will take on Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium as they aim to proceed to the fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday.
Ole on Rashford reaching Rooney / Ronaldo levels: “’Definitely. He can be absolutely top-class. He’s playing the best football of his career. He’s got a great future.” #mufc [Mail]

In the Premier League, the battle for top four has grown intense after Chelsea lost to Arsenal on the weekend. Three points separate the two London sides and Manchester United, who are level with the Gunners.
