Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s impact on Marcus Rashford since arriving at Old Trafford last season is very visible, with the latest evidence coming during the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.
The 22-year-old scored one and assisted another in what was a crucial fixture for United’s hopes of a top-four finish.
Rashford now has 22 goals and 9 assists across all competitions this season and is clearly benefitting from working with Solskjaer.
Jose Mourinho failed to get the best out of the young Englishman and even accused him of not producing enough.
In this regard, Solskjaer has proven he has done a better job at transforming Rashford, turning him into a key and talismanic figure for United.
There’s also the feeling that Rashford can improve further in the role Solskjaer has created for him.
The Red Devils and the legendary manager are finally reaping the rewards for the work and faith they put into the academy product.
