Rashford (24) has not played since injuring his shoulder after the European Cup final, which his country lost on penalties against Italy last July.
“Marcus has done great things at a young age and is close to the best footballing age,” the Norwegian coach said on the eve of Saturday’s match against Leicester City in the English Premier League.
“He’s learning. He’s gaining more experience. He’s had time to think about what he’s also done great on the pitch, and maybe he should now prioritize the game and focus on football,” Solskjaer was quoted by AFP as saying.
Rashford has become a hero and an example to many inside and outside the green rectangle, after he persuaded the Conservative government to provide free school meals to children in need during the Corona virus pandemic. Honored by Queen Elizabeth for his charitable work, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Manchester.
