Marcus Rashford, after his brilliant debut season, had failed to bring about a consistency to his game under Jose Mourinho as the Englishman produced occasional sparks of brilliance.

Under the management of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Rashford seems to have got back to his brilliant best. The attacker was a threat to the Bournemouth defence with surging runs and trickery through the match until he was substituted for Romelu Lukaku.

It was the 21-year old's brilliance that helped Manchester United take the lead in the 5th minute as he spun around Ake and before going past another Bournemouth defender to set up Paul Pogba for his first goal of the match.

The young attacker was at it again as he brilliantly slotted in a well placed Anthony Martial ball to triple the lead for the Red Devils in the 45th minute.


#5 Pogboom!

Pogboom!
Pogboom!

The Frenchman seems to relish under the newly found freedom under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The occasional spark of brilliance has turned into consistent performances for the French World Cup winner as he recorded his 4th goal in the league this season under the new manager after managing just 3 in 14 matches under Jose Mourinho.

The Frenchman was the star performer yet again, scoring his first goal after some brilliant footwork from Marcus Rashford. The second goal though was all about the cross from Ander Herrera.

The Spaniard picked out the Frenchman run and produced an inch-perfect ball for the midfielder as he beat an oncoming Begovic to head home into the near post.

The 25-year old was at it again, this time setting up a much-needed goal for the under-fire Romelu Lukaku. The Frenchman headed into the path of the Belgian as Romelu Lukaku scored his first goal in the Solskjaer era.
