The English youngster has been terrific since the Norwegian took over and allowed him to play his natural game. Rashford is improving by leaps and bounds with every game, and is one of the most dangerous weapons in the Norwegian's arsenal right now.
Rashford started the game as the focal point of attack, and his desire to run at the Newcastle defense gave the opposition a lot of headache. He was so effective that the Magpies had to team up to stop him on every occasion. His free kick set up the first goal, and he scored the second himself, displaying composure, alertness, and great finishing ability.
The Englishman has now scored 3 goals, and has also picked up an assist since Solskjaer took over. The Norwegian clearly puts a lot of trust in Rashford's abilities, and against Newcastle, the Manchester United #10 was brilliant for his manager once again.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina's glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life.

Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
