Former Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer feels Erik ten Hag has taken the right course in his management of Marcus Rashford.

Ten Hag dropped and fined Rashford after he went partying in Belfast last month and missed training upon his return.

"Obviously I managed Marcus for three years and I know him. It's not my job to go out and discuss his performances, but last season he was fantastic and it's about consistency in football," Solskjaer told Reuters in the south Indian city of Bengaluru.

"Marcus and many others haven't hit the heights this season. I'm sure he had a wake-up call last week and hopefully that will spur him on.

"Is it the manager's job to get the best out of him, or is it mostly himself or any player's responsibility to get the best out of yourself? I think that's more it.

"He's had a fantastic career, some ups and downs.

"Now we hope he's going to hit that consistency, because I know and we all know there's a top player there. It's difficult to be at the top all the time, but it takes sacrifice."
