Marcus Rashford had a mixed time under the five permanent Manchester United managers he played under at Old Trafford.
From being handed his debut by Louis van Gaal to being discarded by Ruben Amorim, Rashford had his fair share of ups and downs under different managers.
As well as Van Gaal and Amorim, Rashford also played under Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik ten Hag as well as caretaker managers Michael Carrick, Ralf Rangnick and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Rashford’s most consistent period in a Manchester United shirt came during Solskjaer’s tenure and the Barcelona loanee admits he ‘loved’ playing under the Old Trafford hero.
The 27-year-old scored 22 goals in Solskjaer’s first full season in charge and 21 the following year as United reached the Europa League final.

‘Ole is a fantastic person,’ Rashford, currently on loan at Barcelona from his boyhood club, told TV 2. ‘I loved playing under him.
‘I can speak for many of the players at Manchester United when I say that we enjoyed playing for him. We played good football under Ole.
‘It was a very successful period for me personally. He is a fantastic person, and I don’t have a bad word to say about him.’
Rashford’s best season for Manchester United purely in terms of numbers came under Erik ten Hag when he scored 30 goals in all competitions.
It looked at that time that Rashford would establish himself as one of the best players in world football but he stagnated over the next two seasons, failing to reach double figures.
Current Manchester United boss Amorim questioned Rashford’s output in training before sanctioning his loan move to Aston Villa last season and his current move to Barcelona.
As part of the Barca loan, United agreed to sell Rashford to the Spanish giants for around £30m next summer and that appears to be shrewd business as the England international has enjoyed a bright start to his spell at the Nou Camp.
Rashford has scored five goals and made five assists for Hansi Flick’s side, who are second in La Liga and ninth in the Champions League group phase.
Barcelona lost Sunday’s El Clasico to Real Madrid – Rashford’s England teammate Jude Bellingham scoring the winner – and will look to get back to winning ways against Elche on Sunday.
