Marcus Rashford believes Manchester United finally have their identity back under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after years in the wilderness.
United made it five wins from five in pre-season with a hard-earned 1-0 victory over Solskjaer's hometown club Kristiansund in Oslo on Tuesday.
That came on the back of wins over Perth Glory, Leeds, Inter Milan and Tottenham , which suggested United have their mojo back ahead of the new season.
Solskjaer's side have looked impressive in attack, playing with pace and flair, with Rashford convinced the former United striker has the Reds back on track after tough seasons under David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho.
“The identity is there,” said Rashford. “It doesn't leave, you just have to find it within yourself. We have to come together as a team to show people what we're capable of.
“This season, especially, I think we have to concentrate on ourselves and play like we're enjoying our football. We're in an exciting position. There are a lot of young players and there are a lot of hungry players and I think that's important.
“Hopefully we can take this momentum into the season. We have to keep improving. We've still got a lot of work to do, but we're improving in training every day and it feels like the team is improving, which is the most important thing.
“We're concentrating on ourselves and keep trying to take steps forward.”
England striker Rashford has managed just 13 goals for United in his last two campaigns, with Solskjaer confident he can register 20-plus next season.
Rashford scored in United's first two tour games, but has failed to find the net in the last three and admitted he needs to sharpen up before the new season.
“It's been okay, but I can still sharpen up a bit more,” said Rashford. “That's normal, but it's more about wanting to get the right amount of work load in.
"Fitness has improved and the patterns of play we've been working on are starting to come out in the games. That's the important thing It's never been my aim to be a No.9. It's about being able to adapt and play in different positions and to be the ultimate forward.
"I think I can score goals from all positions and I think that's something that's shared among the forwards.”
The 10 goals United have plundered in their five pre-season games have come from seven different players, which is a huge plus according to Rashford.
“That's important,” said Rashford. “If one person is scoring all the goals, you get a different feeling as a team than if all the forwards are contributing. It's definitely a good feeling and it keeps us all on our toes.”
United host Chelsea in their Premier League opener on August 11, followed by a trip to Wolves , where they lost twice last season, in the league and FA Cup.
“It's definitely a tough start,” said Rashford. “It's the start of the season and we're raring to go. Everyone is looking forward to that. We've got one more game where we can really put a shift in and we'll be in good condition when the season starts.”
