Man Utd boss Solskjaer: Martial return good for Rashford

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Anthony Martial's return has helped Marcus Rashford's form.

Solskjaer insists that it is the return of Martial which has opened the floodgates for his young striker.

“Since Anthony's come back Marcus has blossomed, he's probably happier facing goal, being direct driving at people, taking players on rather than target man with back to goal," he said.

“Marcus wants to master all the skills, but he has only just turned 22, maybe as a two with Anthony maybe as a three against Norwich or wide like we did against Chelsea."

Harry Maguire also had treatment after the Chelsea game after getting a knock.

“It's still early. but hopefully we can get them back on the pitch tomorrow," he said.

“They had some treatment yesterday, a little more treatment today, a light session and hopefully they're ready. I can't exactly tell you exactly now."
