Marcus Rashford backs Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after scoring PSG winner

Manchester United star Marcus Rashford says he fully believes in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Marcus Rashford once again put Paris Saint-Germain to the sword with another late winner at the Parc des Princes to earn Manchester United a vital three points in the Champions League, which also eases the pressure on manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

During United's last trip to the French capital in March 2019, Rashford scored a last-minute penalty.

And he once again proved to be the hero on a memorable night.

Solskjaer was under pressure because the Red Devils have only won two of their opening Premier League matches.

But United may have kickstarted their campaign with a brilliant victory over last season's Champions League finalists, who had Kylian Mbappe and Neymar leading the line.

Both sides created a number of chances but it was Rashford's late effort which proved the difference.

The England international backed his boss after netting the 20-yard winner which found the bottom corner via the post.

"It's a good performance but also one where we have a lot to build on," Rashford said. "I always believe in the team.

"As players it's important to believe in the system that the manager chooses to play.

"We did that fantastically. It was tough but we kept the intensity high.

"We had to defend very deep at times. They have some amazing players. In the low block it can be tough but the guys on the sides - the full-backs - they defended unbelievable. When we defend like that man-to-man, we can do really well.

"Every game requires different tactics and a different performance but what has to stay the same is the intensity.

"The intensity was key for us tonight. We kept going for 90 minutes. We are very happy today."

Rashford netted his fifth goal of the campaign for club and country against PSG.

And he wants to take the momentum into this weekend's crunch Premier League showdown with Chelsea.

"Of course it's a nice feeling," Rashford said. "More importantly, we won the game. We're in a strong position now in the group but it's the first game.

"The concentration levels we showed today we have to take forward into the next game.

"For me, they were both opportunities to win the game. As a striker, in the game late on, that's the mentality. You might only get one chance. It gets us the three points."
