Man Utd boss Solskjaer reveals specialist training for Rashford: He IS improving

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has detailed the specialist finishing training Marcus Rashford is undergoing.

Rashford struck his 17th goal of the season in the 4-0 Europa League thrashing of Real Sociedad but his performance was marred by some glaring one-on-one misses in the first-half.

"He is getting better and better and closer and closer," Solskjaer added. "He's improving all the time. The chances he gets he gets because of his athleticism and his movement and he was strong to hold him off the first one, the goalkeeper came close to him, so that was a hard-ish one.

"The second one, the 'keeper comes out, that's another one we're working on. We had loads of practice on that yesterday, actually.

"But he's improving and I can see that. We're still working and he knows what we want him to improve on but the goal he scored was a very very good example of composure and technical quality."
