Marcus Rashford admits his lack of minutes this season at Manchester United has been "frustrating".
Rashford appears to be taking this difficult period of his fledgling career in his stride through.
"It is frustrating but I'm not angry that I'm not playing because I understand it's difficult," he told Sky Sports.
"We have a lot of big players and a lot of players in my situation as well who are not getting the minutes they probably thought they deserved to get.
"But all of this is good for the squad because everyone is competing in training and it's improving us as players and as a squad. What the manager has done with the team and the players is a good thing.
"I'm just trying to play with freedom like I did last year and the manager supports me with that. Like he did in the Hull came, the manager just tells me to go and help the team win the game."
