There's nothing one can say about Marcus Rashford that has not been said already. The youngster has showed tremendous will power to break free of the shackles enforced by Mourinho and is perhaps the most dangerous player in the league on current form. The fact that he has restricted Lukaku to a bench role speaks volumes of his qualities. It also shows the trust bestowed on him by his manager and it is now clear that Marcus Rashford is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's main man at Old Trafford.

If he had looked confused and disoriented under Mourinho, the Englishman has looked inspired and committed under his new boss. He is the epitome of desire, determination and confidence now. His finishing has suddenly improved and his tricks and abilities on the ball have constantly drawn comparisons to a Portuguese superstar who also broke through the ranks as a teenager.

But it is the threat that Rashford carried in his name now that has created all the difference for United. Teams have began to fear the United attack, because they know the youngster is capable of anything on current form. Rashford, in turn, has thrived in the pressures of expectations. He is, after all, United's best player right now.
