“I feel like that since Benni has come in we’ve worked, which has let to us creating more chances, so we’re scoring more goals.
“It’s still early days and Benni will tell you himself that his aspirations are much bigger than what we’ve done so far.
“But you know he keeps pushing us, he keeps trying for us to improve. You can’t ask for anything more than that as a player.”
Rashford also discussed his own relationship with the former Porto, Blackburn Rovers and West Ham striker, saying he always wants his players to improve.
“Benni has been great with me and like I said we’re all forward lads and like I said you have to remember that Benni is part of a full coaching system, so everyone plays there role and for the forwards lads, Benni is on top of what we need,”
“His relationship with me is very good, we speak a lot. We’re always analysing the games as well, he’s showing me how to improve small things that can help me get more chances, more goals and maybe create space for other forward players as well.
