Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident of Marcus Rashford avoiding burnout.

Rashford has played more minutes than any other United player this season and has featured in every game for which he has been available.

Solskjaer said: I've been able to rest him a couple of times in Europe, but he's such a fit boy, a professional boy. He looks after himself.

Hopefully he had loads of sweets on his birthday, so his energy levels are up.

But when you score goals, when you get performances, you just want to play games. The rhythm of playing, resting, recovering and playing again, sometimes that's just as good.

Since Anthony Martial's comeback, Marcus has blossomed. He is probably happier facing goal, being direct, driving at people, taking players on rather than being a target man with his back to goal.

But Marcus wants to master all the skills maybe playing as a two with Anthony, maybe as a three against Norwich, or wide like we did against Chelsea.

And it was important he stepped up for that penalty against Chelsea."
