From the player who had been gathering dust under Jose Mourinho, to the one who is charging the team forward, Marcus Rashford's transformation has been one of the high points of Solskjaer's appointment.

The English youngster has been terrific since the Norwegian took over and allowed him to play his natural game. Rashford is improving by leaps and bounds with every game, and is one of the most dangerous weapons in the Norwegian's arsenal right now.

Rashford started the game as the focal point of attack, and his desire to run at the Newcastle defense gave the opposition a lot of headache. He was so effective that the Magpies had to team up to stop him on every occasion. His free kick set up the first goal, and he scored the second himself, displaying composure, alertness, and great finishing ability.

The Englishman has now scored 3 goals, and has also picked up an assist since Solskjaer took over. The Norwegian clearly puts a lot of trust in Rashford's abilities, and against Newcastle, the Manchester United #10 was brilliant for his manager once again.
