Interim Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says that Marcus Rashford has "far more" than he did as a footballer.

Interim Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has insisted that Marcus Rashford has "far more" than he did as a footballer.

Rashford has scored five times in 22 appearances for United this season and has been in impressive form in the two matches since Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho as head coach.

Solskjaer has paid tribute to the talent of the England international but has revealed that he is keen to help the 21-year-old improve his movement and finishing inside the penalty box.

"I think Marcus has got his own motivation to become the best player he can be," The Mirror quotes Solskjaer as saying. "He has got far more than I did in terms of his physical attributes, his pace, his strength and striking the ball from outside the box.

"But maybe I can give him a little bit of the nous I had inside the box. I'm talking about the little moves you make to get free, that little bit of calmness in front of goal.

"I've seen him rush a few finishes. He thinks 'I've got to get a shot off early' when sometimes you just need to pass it past the keeper. I always say that the goal never moves. So I am really looking forward to working with him."

Rashford has scored 37 times and registered 22 assists in 145 appearances for United in all competitions.
