If there is one man who has benefited the most from Solskjaer's arrival, then it is the young Englishman Marcus Rashford. The United number 10 has been in blistering form ever since the Norwegian took over; the England international has been a key figure in United's late resurgence this season.

While Rashford's potential has never been in doubt, until last season it did seem like the forward needs some consistency to be the star man at United. Rashford's critics will be pleased to see the young man impress on a weekly basis under Solskjaer.

The Red Devils narrowly defeated PSG in the Round of 16, thanks to Rashford and his accuracy from the spot. The young starlet scored past Gianluigi Buffon to help his side edge out the French champions.

Manchester United fans believe Rashford will be their star forward for years to come. And the English striker will likely have to come up with something special if Manchester United are to go all the way in the tournament.
