Man Utd boss Solskjaer happy Rashford immediately on scoresheet

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was happy to see Marcus Rashford score in defeat at Leicester City.

It was Rashford's first game back since shoulder surgery.

"Yeah, an incredible goal. A great goal," said Solskjaer.

"I thought he had some big moments that we missed out on. Because he had some space that we didn't pass into, and we looked like we could maybe get the second and then we gave the easy, sloppy first goal away, which is disappointing. But then also a couple of set-play goals is disappointing. We've been solid at that [before this]. But we need to do better.

"But then Marcus has worked hard and he does that. It was great to see him back on the pitch. That's probably the only bonus today. Maybe David. But when your keeper is the best player when you've conceded four, it has been a bad day."
