#2 Giving Marcus Rashford more chances up front

Since his debut for the Red Devils, Marcus Rashford was someone with the potential to be a Manchester United legend. His pace, agility, and skill is a nightmare for any defender to play.

Despite getting a decent number of chances under Louis Van Gaal, Rashford's game time noticeably decreased under the former manager, Jose Mourinho. Even when he got an opportunity, it's mostly down the right flank to accommodate either Martial or Sanchez as the preferred left wingers.

However, since Ole became the manager, Rashford has been deployed as the lone center forward with Martial and Lingard playing down the flanks. It was helped the English International express himself much better and even bag a few goals as well. The primary example of his growing confidence was the one moment against Bournemouth where he dribbled past two defenders and produced an immaculate cross for Paul Pogba to tap in.

Rashford often got blamed for his lack of composure in front of the goal, but the goal against Newcastle showed how Ole has helped him learn the art of finishing as well. He has now cemented his place in the squad under Solskjaer which is a good sign for United going forward and a worrying prospect for the opposition defenders.
