Solskjaer's Man Utd 'three or four steps ahead' of Mourinho's - Rashford

The England forward believes the Red Devils' pre-season preparations have put them in better shape to challenge than 12 months ago

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford claims the squad are better prepared for the challenges of a new season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer than they were when Jose Mourinho was in charge.

Solskjaer will lead the Red Devils into their Premier League curtain-raiser with Chelsea on Sunday in what will be his first full campaign in charge at Old Trafford.

And it is his appointment, following a successful spell as caretaker boss between December and March last term, that Rashford believes has been key to the players’ fitness and mind-set this summer.
