Solskjaer showed a lot of faith in youth ever since taking over at Old Trafford. One of the main beneficiaries of the Norwegian’s belief in youngsters was Marcus Rashford. The Englishman had suffered under Mourinho’s reign, but Solskjaer instilled belief in Rashford and even installed him as Manchester United’s preferred striker ahead of Lukaku. Rashford started life under Solskjaer brilliantly, but has waned away of late. Against Everton too, one could be forgiven for thinking that Rashford wasn’t even on the pitch.

The Englishman started from the right, as Lukaku was preferred through the middle. Rashford did little to impress throughout the game until he was replaced by Andreas Pereira just before the end. In the opening minutes, Pogba sent in a glorious ball that had Rashford one on one with the keeper, but indecision and poor finishing cost him and United a fantastic start.

Marcus Rashford promised goals and glory when he lit up Solskjaer’s opening months at Old Trafford. He provided neither on Sunday and cost United the game.
