It was a convincing win, unlike anything witnessed in Erik ten Hag's two-plus seasons, and Rashford thinks it highlights the progress Amorim has already achieved.

"It's exciting for us to discover new things, and I believe we can really improve within this system too," he shared with MUTV.

We haven't used this system in our games before, so no one really knows what to anticipate from us, which actually gives us an advantage.

Additionally, for the opposing teams, we haven’t utilized this system in previous matches, which means they are unsure of what to anticipate from us. This gives us a strategic advantage. We have a variety of players capable of filling different roles, allowing us to adapt our approach and formations throughout the game.

"It's thrilling! I don't want to go overboard, but this is the kind of energy and enthusiasm we are looking for."

He shared with Sky Sports: "It's still early, but I feel energized and prepared for the upcoming match against Arsenal. The previous game has just ended, but players always have their sights set on the next one."

Rashford realizes that we're still in the early stages of Amorim's leadership and acknowledges that there's a lot of room for growth. However, he has been pleasantly surprised by how much the Portuguese manager has influenced the team in just three matches.

Marcus Rashford has scored three times in just two league matches since Ruben Amorim took charge.

He said, "With a new coach and a different style of play, it's crucial that we keep improving as we learn. We need to build on this performance and secure a victory in our upcoming match this week."

Each of us wants to return to our peak performance and strive for even greater achievements. This means that, even during tough times, we're still making the right choices.

"As we become more familiar with him, our bond will strengthen and develop. [Amorim has] joined us during a hectic time, and we are optimistic that our relationship will continue to evolve."

"He's joined the team with a fantastic mindset, and it's really inspired the players. The vibe here is one of the most amazing aspects of the club, and every time we play in this incredible stadium, it feels amazing."
