Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford was pleased with victory over FC Sheriff.

Rashford struck for the 3-0 Europa League win.

He said, "They set up to defend well and play on counter. It took us a while and got the first goal from a set piece so we're happy with that. Once we went 1-0 ahead, the space opened up and we could have got a few more.

"Not getting the first goal quickly leads to a mix between frustration and calmness, you have to be calm to create chances and be clinical in taking them.

"Scoring before half-time was a big help, it allowed us to look for more goals and space and we found them. It was about getting the job done."

On next week's trip to Real Sociedad, he added: "We have to go there and score by two goals. We have to score goals but defend well. It is going to be a tough game but looking forward to the challenge.

"It's taken a lot of hard work to adapt and change, but we're getting there."
