Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has revealed that he was giving Manchester United star, Marcus Rashford, striking tips three weeks before he replaced Jose Mourinho as manager.
Solskjaer took over shortly before Christmas and has quickly brought more attacking football to Old Trafford.
United have scored 12 goals in three games under the Norwegian.
Now he has revealed that he was in Manchester at the end of November to watch a laboured 1-0 win over Young Boys and spoke to Rashford after the game.
“You know, I went to see the Young Boys game just a month ago and I met him, and Jesse [Lingard], just in the corridor as I was leaving the game,” Solskjaer told Stadium Astro.
“And he was just like, “urgh” [and put his head down], because he had a few chances in that game.
“And I said, “Don’t worry son, just relax a little bit.” And he said, “Yeah, I know, I’m snatching at things.”
