MANCHESTER. — Marcus Rashford has hailed the improvements Manchester United have made under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, claiming that it looked “impossible” to be in touch with the top four in the English Premiership football under Jose Mourinho.
United may have crashed out of the FA Cup in a 2-1 defeat to Wolves on Saturday , but their form in the English Premier League means that they are right in the mix for a top four place as the season draws to a close.
They currently sit fifth, just three points behind third-placed Tottenham , two behind Arsenal in fourth and one ahead of sixth-placed Chelsea.
And when you add that to qualification for the last eight of the Champions League, the notion that Solskjaer has brought stability back to United after the turbulent final few months under Mourinho is a very real one.
“I think just his presence around the building has changed everyone really,” Rashford told an exclusive interview with GQ magazine.
“Even the lady at the front desk, Kath, she’s been working there for years, and you notice a difference in everyone.
“Growing up at United, that’s what the feeling has always been like. Like this. And to have it back, the way it is now, is amazing.
“That’s without even touching on what we’ve done on the pitch. How we’ve improved ourselves as a team, because that’s where we can still improve a lot.
“But the feeling I have now is all the players understand that. When everyone’s on the same page, there’s no telling how far we can get.
“What he’s done since he’s come in is remarkable. We’re in a place now, in the league, that was pretty much impossible two months ago.
“So we’re just looking to carry it on now, to try and better ourselves, and look forward to the next season.”
Rashford has also given fans an insight into the places that made him into a footballing star. — The Mirror.
