Marcus Rashford praised Ruben Amorim's influence on Manchester United's “lucky” players after scoring twice in the new manager's first Premier League win of his tenure.
Striker Rashford scored his first league goals at Old Trafford since March to help the 20-time champions extend their unbeaten run to seven games following the sacking of Erik ten Haag, beating Everton 4-0.
“He's come in at a very busy time but I hope we can continue to develop the relationship and continue to get stronger,” Rashford told Sky Sports.
“He came in with a great attitude and that's passed on to the players. We are happy. Playing in this historic stadium is always an amazing feeling.
“We want to find consistency in the way we play and our results. That is the main focus. “It's early, but I feel energized and ready for the next game.”
