The former England international netted a brace at Old Trafford as the Red Devils romped to an impressive victory over Sean Dyche’s side to lift themselves up to ninth place in the Premier League standings.

Summer signing Joshua Zirkzee also scored twice, while Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes both provided two assists during a stellar display by Amorim’s men.

The result means Man Utd have recorded two wins and one draw during Amorim’s first three games in charge and Rashford was eager to praise the new head coach following the win over Everton.

What has Marcus Rashford said?

“It is a nice result,” Rashford told Sky Sports. “It is important with a new coach and a new way of playing, when we are still learning.

“We have to back up this performance and win in midweek. We all, as individuals, want to get back to our best and then push to improve so even in the bad moments you are doing the right thing.

“The connection is going to build and grow the more we get used to him.”

Rashford added: “He's [Amorim] come in in a busy period and hopefully the connection keeps building and growing. He's come in with a great attitude and it's passed onto the players.

“The atmosphere is one of the most special things about his club and playing at this great stadium is always a great feeling.

“It is early on but I feel energised and ready for the next game. This game has only just finished but the next one is always the focus for the players.”

Rashford’s comments come following shock reports that Amorim is open to selling the Man Utd forward in 2025.

The Red Devils have been linked with a host of new players in recent weeks, including Christopher Nkunku, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Viktor Gyokeres, with Rashford among those who could reportedly leave Old Trafford as a result.

However, his form under Amorim suggests that he is set to have a long-term future under the new Man Utd boss.
