Man Utd striker Rashford: Top 4 impossible before Solskjaer arrival

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford admits he felt a top four finish was "impossible" before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho.

United may have crashed out of the FA Cup in a 2-1 defeat to Wolves on Saturday , but their form in the Premier League means that they are right in the mix for a top four place as the season draws to a close.

"I think just his presence around the building has changed everyone really," Rashford told an exclusive interview with GQ magazine.

"Even the lady at the front desk, Kath, she's been working there for years, and you notice a difference in everyone.

"Growing up at United, that's what the feeling has always been like. Like this. And to have it back, the way it is now, is amazing.

"That's without even touching on what we've done on the pitch. How we've improved ourselves as a team, because that's where we can still improve a lot.

"But the feeling I have now is all the players understand that. When everyone's on the same page, there's no telling how far we can get.

"What he's done since he's come in is remarkable. We're in a place now, in the league, that was pretty much impossible two months ago.

"So we're just looking to carry it on now, to try and better ourselves, and look forward to the next season."
