Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is January’s Premier League player of the month.
The youngster has been on a rampage mode banging goals after goals in this new regime. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s influence on the player has made a huge difference and Rashford has been playing with more freedom and hunger.
Solskajer decided to reinstate the youngster to his natural centre forward position and he has repaid the faith with a number of exemplary performances. Romelu Lukaku has been forced to sit out on the bench and it remains to be seen if the 21 year old can manage to maintain the momentum for the remainder of the season.
Rashford said, “It’s always good to pick up individual awards but I think the way we’ve performed as a team has been very good over the last few weeks.
”The aim for us now is to just continue it, but we have to take it game by game and one step at a time.”
“I think the consistency. I’ve always said that’s the difference between the best players in the world and good players. In football, the fact that you can repeat it time and time again, season upon season, is the big difference between the two categories of players.
”Consistency is something you always want to improve and, for a young player, it can be difficult but I think over the last two months we’ve got it right.“
