When asked by reporters at Pride Park whether he could confirm any plans for Rashford after the 2-1 friendly win over Derby County, Ole said he was not yet in a position to do so. Manchester United’s official page revealed the details, with Adam Marshall reporting on it.
“No, we?re looking at the best options,” said the manager. “Of course, he went away just to reflect on it a little bit. We have to take the best course of action for him and the club. We?re still addressing that with the experts.?
Ole also lauded United’s performance in the win. Young stars Tahith Chong and Facundo Pellistri provided the goals as a very young United side got the win over Derby, who have former Manchester United player Wayne Rooney as the manager.
Marcus Rashford and his 2020/21 season by the numbers
While the young forward struggled with injuries, he was still one of United’s best players last season, along with Luke Shaw and Bruno Fernandes. United lacks cover in attack, and the signing of Jadon Sancho will help Ole Gunnar Solksjaer in his rotation.
Rashford played almost every single game for United as he featured in 37 out of United’s 38 premier league matches. In that run, he provided a great contribution of 11 goals and 11 assists. However, he saved his best for the biggest competition in club football as he scored six goals in six matches, including a hattrick in the UEFA Champions League.
