Ruben Amorim has insisted that Marcus Rashford “has to improve”, despite his eye-catching start to life under the new Manchester United boss.
Rashford scored the first goal of the Amorim era against Ipswich Town last weekend, before bagging a brace during a 4-0 win over Sean Dyche’s Everton on Sunday afternoon.
However, Amorim has urged the former England international to continue his development rather than rest on his laurels.

“There is so much to improve,” Amorim admitted when asked about Rashford after Man Utd's win against Everton. “He can do so much better. We all have to improve, but it was a great job from the players.
“He has to continue to improve and he has the ability to do it. He already proved that, but he can play so much better, like the other guys. So it was a good performance. Tomorrow he has to recover and start thinking about the Arsenal game.”

What has Marcus Rashford said?
In addition to Amorim’s comments, Rashford also discussed the impact of the new Man Utd head coach.
“It is a nice result,” Rashford told Sky Sports after his brace against Everton. “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. 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.”
