Man Utd: Marcus Rashford is 'getting better' says pundit
Marcus Rashford believes it’s too early to count Manchester United out of finishing in the top four.
United had been on a decent run after earning a point at home to Liverpool last month.
But they came crashing back down after a demoralising 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth at the weekend.
The result has left them languishing in mid-table, 10 points adrift of the Champions League places.
But Rashford believes United still have as good a chance as any of making the top four.
“It's going to be tough but it's nowhere near impossible,” he told Sky Sports.
“We don't need to focus on any other teams, we play our best football when we focus on ourselves and us improving.
“That's the only way Man United play good football and we need to get back to doing that.

“The consistency in the performance and the consistency in the games you win are two completely different things.”
