“We have a lot of goals to face. The FA Cup is very important and now we are in the semifinals. This is very important for supporters. We are happy, but we have to prepare peacefully to play against Brighton.

“He plays in the idea and plans to work with him. He played more as a wing player on the left and the attacker. Today we decided to play him as an attacker to get his qualities so he can feel confident. The first half, not completely, but the second half he felt better with goals.

“We still have to work and adapt to gather, teammates and ourselves. I think this was a step forward. He was coming here in the last two months, without training consistently and did not feel very fit in the first matches with us. After playing more with the national team, it helped him to feel better. Today was a confirmation with us.”

The Rashford Sam was delighted that he could install a bracelet and put any questions in his quality to bed.

He added, “It’s a great feeling, I feel like I was becoming Fitter and playing better football since I was here. It’s always nice to get ahead to reach the goal, so I hope it goes on.

“We have to take it one game and give it 100% on the field and see where it leads us. We are very ambitious.

“Step by step. I think I can still fit in. I missed a lot of football before I joined them. My body feels good and I enjoy football for now.”
