Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was still a month away from being installed as caretaker manager of Manchester United when he started improving Marcus Rashford's game.

It began with a chance meeting in a corridor at Old Trafford after the Champions League win over Young Boys in November. United had won the match but Rashford was disappointed that he had missed an easy chance.

'I said, "Don't worry son, just relax a little bit",' Solskjaer recalled. 'Scoring goals was my X-factor, so if I can help and guide him a little bit then great. It will be great to work with such a potential top striker, just on his calmness in front of goal.'
