Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sets Marcus Rashford 20-goal target?

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reportedly tells Marcus Rashford that he has to score 20 goals this season.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reportedly set Marcus Rashford a 20-goal target this season as the Englishman looks to take his game to the next level.

Rashford netted a brace in United's 4-0 win over Chelsea on the opening weekend of the 2019-20 Premier League campaign.

The 21-year-old has never managed to score more than 13 for the Red Devils in a single season, though, and there will be more pressure on the Englishman following Romelu Lukaku's summer exit.

According to The Sun, Solskjaer has told Rashford that he needs to be hitting the 20-goal mark in all competitions during the 2019-20 campaign.

The academy product shared the centre-forward role with Anthony Martial against Chelsea as the 20-time English champions started with a fluid front three that also included Jesse Lingard.

Rashford, who netted 10 times in the Premier League during the 2018-19 season, has scored 47 goals in 171 appearances for United since making his debut in early 2016.
