Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he “had a little try” at Marcus Rashford in the first half of his 3-2 win over Brighton on Saturday.
Bruno Fernandes converted from the penalty spot with the final kick of the game 10 minutes into overtime to snatch three points from Man Utd in a crazy and eventful encounter.
Referee Chris Kavanagh had initially flown full time before awarding the penalty after consulting with the pitch monitor and opting to penalize Neal Maupay for handball.

Albion seemed to have secured a point he more than deserved when Solly March canceled Marcus Rashford’s excellent solo effort, which Man Utd said was number 10,000 in their history, five minutes into the extra period.
But, after players from both teams surrounded match official Kavanagh during a remarkable finale to the game, Fernandes was the calmest man in the stadium as he confidently dispatched the ball from 12 yards.
France’s Maupay had brazenly overtaken Brigthon after a 40-minute penalty, his third goal in two games, following Fernandes’ foul on Tariq Lamptey.
Solskjaer was happy that Rashford went off the mark in the Premier League, but admitted that he had to scold the forward in the first half for skipping an inning.
The Man Utd boss told reporters: “I was getting better and better, but I tried a bit in the middle of the first half for an inning that he avoided.
“But I think his reaction, his acuity is improving. It’s more direct, his confidence is coming, he scored a great goal and it was a great career and a great finish for which he was also annulled. I think Marcus will really get going this season. “
