Marcus Rashford has acknowledged that Manchester United are in a “difficult patch”, but he insists that the players have the desire and commitment to turn things around.
The England striker, who will miss out on the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Albania and San Marino, was speaking from Windsor Castle after an investiture ceremony for the MBE he was awarded following his campaign to help disadvantaged children.
Since he recovered from a shoulder injury, Rashford has netted in wins over Atalanta and Tottenham. However, they were rare wins in what has been a tough time for Ole Gunnar’s Solskjaer’s side.
Heavy defeats to Liverpool and Manchester City have piled the pressure on the Norwegian, who has failed to win a trophy during his near-three years in charge at Old Trafford.
Rashford said: “The Man United team is the Man United team and we all play for the badge and the club. It’s something for me I’ve dreamed of since I was a kid.

“And for the players that we sign, they see Manchester United as the great club it is. They want to give everything they can for the badge.

“And those things remain the same whether you’re in good spells or bad spells.

“I know at the moment we’re in a difficult patch but the desire and ambition never changes.”
