Marcus Rashford identifies what he's missing at Manchester United

Marcus Rashford has admitted he's missing the taste of silverware as Manchester United target Europa League success.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's side are in Rome on Thursday as they look to officially confirm their place in the final after a 6-2 victory in the first leg.

United have lost their last four semi-finals under Solskjaer, losing out in the last four of the FA Cup, Carabao Cup (twice) and last season's Europa League against Sevilla.

With United having one foot in the final this time around, Rashford has claimed that winning a trophy is the next step for this group of players.

“I think the trophy is the biggest thing,” Rashford told ManUtd.com. “If we can manage to get our hands on some silverware, I think it will push the team in the right direction. In the last two years, I think we’ve been close but, at the end of the day, close just isn't good enough for this club.

“As a player, you miss that feeling of winning trophies. It’s as simple as that, maybe it just takes one trophy to put you over that line and really set something up for the team."

Outlining his aims for the remainder of the season, Rashford said told the Premier League: “I think we have got to take it one game at a time, try to win as many games as we can, you know.

“We have been more consistent this season but have let ourselves down in some games. In some of the big games, we should have probably got over the line.

“It’s football and things can happen but we’ve always stuck together, this whole season, and it’s definitely one positive thing this club has got.”
