Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has insisted that there is no better manager for the club than the current one at the helm Ole Gunnar Solskjaer despite suggestions they could be interested in former Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Spurs sacked Pochettino earlier this week and replaced him with former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho after the North London club got off to a rather disastrous start to the new season.
There have been rumors that United could consider turning to Argentine manager Pochettino to take over from the Norwegian Solskjaer, whose side have only managed two more points than Spurs from their opening 12 Premier League games of the season so far.
Solskjaer’s job has come under jeopardy and results need to improve if the 46-year-old is to remain in contention for a long time at the Theatre Of Dreams.
However, English forward Marcus Rashford who recently signed a new four-year contract extension in July has explained that Solskjaer’s plans were part of the reason why he committed his future at the club.
While speaking to Sky Sports, the 22 year old forward explained that he had no hesitation in extending his contract mainly because his manager was also on the same page, “There was no hesitation from me over signing a new contract, And it was the same for Ole as well – I could see where his head was at, where he wanted the club to be at and for me it was just a no-brainer. We were on the same page and wanted the same things for the club. Ole is a great guy and he has the club’s interests at heart so there’s not a better person for the job in my opinion.”
United are under pressure to return into the Champions League as they are already 18 points behind league leaders Liverpool and 10 points off a top-four spot on the English top-flight table.
