Solskjaer picks out one thing Rashford can still improve
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes Marcus Rashford needs to improve his “movement in the box” if he is to add another five or ten goals a season to his game.
The England international is one of several players who have been revitalised since Solskjaer took the reigns as United’s caretaker boss.
When asked if he sees Rashford as a player who could stay at Old Trafford for ten or twelve years, Solskjaer said: “That’d be fantastic and we call it the legends we’ve had at this club that have stayed so long and one club players and we hope Rashy’s gonna be one to them up to him and us if he keeps producing he’ll stay in the team and that’s up to him.”
On whether he has seen rapid maturity from Rashford in the past three months, Solskjaer added: “You don’t see too much of change in a player in three months but he’s 21 and you’re excused if sometimes you hit the highs and are a bit off the [ace and Rashy don’t expect consistency yet but he’s got quality finishing striking of the ball attitude.
“Yeah (can be prolific), keep battering him with it he should score more goals as Rom after training sessions, simple tap ins, like Rom scored in last few games.
“Rashford goals are sometimes worldies and he does have a sensational strike but you see improvement and maturity and change in Cristiano’s goals from young to now
“And that’s what Rashy has to improve as well his tap ins movement in the box, stay in the box, maybe not get away from the centre backs a few more times, just get those five or 10 extra goals, he’s been told that.”
