Marcus Rashford backs Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for Manchester United job

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford says that interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer deserves to stay on at Old Trafford beyond the summer.

Marcus Rashford has insisted that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer boasts the key ingredients to be a long-term success as Manchester United manager.

United welcome Liverpool to Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon aiming to maintain their incredible run of form under Solskjaer that has seen them win 11, draw one and lose one of their 13 matches since he replaced Jose Mourinho in mid-December.

Solskjaer has managed to get the best out of the likes of Paul Pogba and Rashford in particular, and the United academy product wants the interim boss to stay on full-time, saying that he has been a "massive help" on the training ground.

"For me, it's been a massive help having that type of guidance around me," he told Sky Sports News.

"But he's been working with all of the players with everything he's got, you can see even the defenders are improving, the midfield is improving, the team's improved overall but we understand we can still take more steps forward.

"He has that know-how, the understanding, that's the kind of thing you just pick off naturally off these type of people. Even not just out on the pitch, having conversations about it, it all adds up.

"It's been a big turnaround. As long as we keep improving I don't see why [he shouldn't get the job permanently]."

Rashford has reportedly emerged as a target for Barcelona after playing a direct part in eight goals in 12 matches under Solskjaer.
