Marcus Rashford has reflected on his time at Manchester United, naming the one manager he “loved playing under” and praising him as a “fantastic person.”

The 27-year-old forward, who publicly expressed his desire for a “new challenge” after falling out of favour under current boss Ruben Amorim last season, has since moved on loan to Barcelona. The Spanish club holds a £30 million option to make the deal permanent at the end of the campaign.
Before his recent struggles, Rashford enjoyed some of his best years at United — particularly under former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, whom he still holds in high regard.
Speaking to Norwegian outlet TV2, Rashford said:

“Ole is a fantastic person. I loved playing under him. I can speak for many of the players at Manchester United when I say that we enjoyed playing for him. We played good football under Ole. It was a very successful period for me personally. He is a fantastic person, and I don’t have a bad word to say about him.”

Rashford’s praise comes with good reason — he enjoyed arguably the best season of his career under Solskjaer in 2020/21, scoring 21 goals and registering 12 assists in 57 appearances across all competitions.
