Rashford says cavalier kids Greenwood and Williams can bring attacking football back to Man Utd

MARCUS RASHFORD believes Manchester United’s young guns will bring back the cavalier football.
United’s three goalscorers in the draw at Sheffield United had an average age of just 19½.
The 22-year-old Rashford was on the mark at Bramall Lane — along with fellow youngsters Mason Greenwood, 18, and Brandon Williams, 19.
He reckons the SEVEN minutes where they turned the game completely on its head showed what they are capable of.
Rashford said: “Both of them came through our academy. All they know is how to attack and play forward-thinking football.
“You can see with the way they play they just bring that to the team.
“That’s the way Man United is. If we play positive football, that’s when we are at our best.”
But boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he is running out of midfield options as he heads to Kazakhstan today for Thursday’s Europa League clash with Astana.
So much so that he considered playing centre-back Phil Jones in the middle against the Blades.
Scott McTominay has joined Paul Pogba in the treatment room. Both are nursing ankle injuries.

Solskjaer said: “We are light in midfield as Scott is away. We could have started Jones there as he’s played there for England.
“But we’ve played well in a back three this season — Chelsea away and Liverpool at home.
“We brought young players in with Brandon, who scored the first goal and Mason, who hit the second on Sunday.”
