Man Utd boss Solskjaer relaxed over Rashford's lack of goals

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not concerned by Marcus Rashford's recent lack of goals, pointing to the Manchester United forward's hunger and determination to improve.

Teenager Mason Greenwood saved his teammates' blushes on Thursday, scoring in United's unconvincing 1-0 win against Astana in their Europa League opener at home.

United started brightly but Rashford missed a number of opportunities against the champions of Kazakhstan.

Solskjaer has spoken of his desire for the 21-year-old to score more goals but is not worried that the academy graduate has netted just once from open play in eight appearances for club and country this season.

"He's getting the chances," the United boss said of Rashford, who has scored two penalties this campaign.

"Of course he could have had three today (Thursday). The keeper made a few fantastic saves.

"I don't worry about that, no. We're working every single day in training with Marcus. He wants to improve, wants to be better."
"He is still young, he'll improve. 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."
