3 Manchester United players who are enjoying their football under Solskjaer

#2 Marcus Rashford

Marcus Rashford's name would not come in the list of players who fell out with Jose Mourinho at Manchester United. However, the England International would be pleased with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's appointment which gave him the opportunity to play as a center forward at United.

Rashford is one of the few players who scored both in his Europea League and Premier League debut for Manchester United. It was a blessing in disguise for Louis Van Gaal who gave Marcus an opportunity after Martial got injured before the Europa League clash. Since then, he has only moved up the ladder securing the No 10 jersey before the start of the current campaign.

However, under Mourinho, Marcus didn't get that many games, he would have hoped. Even most of the times, he played as a right winger to adjust Sanchez or Martial down the left flank. Solskjaer made sure Rashford plays upfront with Martial and Lingard as the preferred wingers. It has helped the forward wreck havoc in the opposition box with his pace, skill, and finishing.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
