Man Utd boss Solskjaer unconcerned about Rashford form

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists he's unconcerned about the form of Marcus Rashford.

Rashford has found the net three times so far during the current campaign, but two of those goals have come from the penalty spot in wins over Chelsea and Leicester.

"I don't worry about that, he's getting the chances," the United boss said. "Of course he could have scored three [against Astana], but the goalkeeper made a few fantastic saves.

"We're working every single day in training with Marcus and he wants to improve and he wants to be better. He could have finished with his left foot instead of his right once, but it was just one of those days.

"All the goals we've scored have come from our forwards with Marcus, Anthony [Martial] and Dan James so I'm sure he'll chip in with many, many goals.

"He's still young, he'll improve and you won't hit your peak as a striker until you're 26 or 27. He's still learning what finishes to make in different circumstances.

"I think today's forwards are different from the old, traditional number nines. There's not many left of them and Marcus can play three or four positions."
