Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford has said that Red Devils head coach Erik ten Hag has brought a "completely different mindset" to the club this season.
The 20-time English champions made it back-to-back wins since returning to action following the 2022 World Cup courtesy of a 3-0 success over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Tuesday.
The Red Devils have now only lost once since the start of October, while they have won three of their last four in the Premier League, which has left them in fifth spot in the table, just one point behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur, with a game in hand on Antonio Conte's side.
Rashford made the breakthrough against Forest before setting up Anthony Martial for 2-0, and the England international has opened up on his happiness at the club this season.
"I don't know if it is as good as I've ever been playing but I'm definitely enjoying it," Rashford told Amazon Prime. "We're winning a lot more football games and our level has been a lot higher. Happy with how we're developing and hope we can keep kicking on.

"It's a completely different mindset to last season, a different team playing different football.
"For me, when you're not in the team and coming on there is a different mindset and you have to think about making an impact and you're not sure when you get another chance or another goal. But I'm enjoying what I'm doing at the minute."
Rashford has now scored 10 goals and registered four assists in 21 appearances for Man United this season, including five goals and three assists in 15 Premier League outings.
Bruno Fernandes was also again in strong form against Forest, and ex-Man United captain Patrice Evra has claimed that the Portugal international "is the boss again" following Cristiano Ronaldo's exit.

"Bruno Fernandes has to be the main man and you can feel it now Ronaldo is not here anymore and you can feel that he is the boss again," Evra added after the win over Forest.
"He is the one taking the free-kicks, the one taking the corner kicks and I am sorry, that is what Bruno Fernandes needs.
"I remember when I talked with him after a game and he didn't want to say that, because he would be like 'I can't play with every player', but you can't have two chefs like they say in French, and that's what happened so I am not surprised about the performance of Bruno Fernandes."
Man United will be bidding to continue their strong form when they travel to struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on December 31.
