“The atmosphere is good, we have a lot of people who are coming back from the World Cup, and everyone is coming together. Winning games helps this, also before we went to the World Cup we played good games and good victories and that makes it easier to come back.” he added about the team dynamics.
And one of those who has returned best from the World Cup is Marcus Rashford, scoring in the win (3-0) against Nottingham Forest, in the first game ‘post Ronaldo’. “He has played very well, luckily I haven’t been on the field yet and he has had a bad game. He looks sharp and confident. You feel it in the stadium and in him, it’s something beautiful and I hope it continues like this”, he wished the dane on the striker.
