No Manchester United player has reaped the benefits of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replacing Jose Mourinho as United manager quite like Marcus Rashford. The 21-year-old's classy finish in the 2-1 victory over Brighton on Saturday made it five goals in six Premier League games for Rashford - who looks a player reborn under the tutelage of Solskjaer. Solskjaer's former team-mate at Old Trafford, legendary striker Andy Cole, believes the Norwegian’s injection of confidence has been a major factor in making Rashford the de facto starting striker for United — ahead of even Romelu Lukaku. “When I’m talking about confidence this is all about confidence,” Cole told BT Sport. “Great ability with his feet — we all know he’s got that — cuts inside on his right foot, little chop back off his left, and then bends it in the top corner it’s a lovely finish from Rashford. "I keep saying confidence is such a big, big thing, especially when … [Read more...] about Man Utd legend says Marcus Rashford form is thanks to Ole Gunnar Solksjaer

Gemma Collins wants a ‘public apology’ from hosts Phil and Holly
Gemma Collins is demanding a 'public apology' from show hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby following a week long 'row'. The Dancing On Ice star has been hit with diva claims which were fuelled further by This Morning's Holly who fumed over her backstage behaviour on Monday's show. Now, 37-year-old Gemma has demanded a public apology from the pair after she said the rumours left her 'devastated' and 'heartbroken'. Speaking to The Mirror, the TOWIE regular said: "I've been told on the rumour mill that Phil and Holly have been told off, but a public apology would go a long way. "I haven’t seen them yet – obviously I’ll see them at the studio, but I’d like an intervention before the show starts. We need to find the culprit responsible for giving them this false information."

Government to discuss West Ham v Liverpool fixture row
Liverpool fans’ fury at the potential rescheduling of their trip to West Ham in a fortnight is set to be discussed at government level. Reds fans have already forked out on train tickets for the televised Monday night match at the London Stadium on February 4. But if The Hammers draw their FA cup fourth round tie AFC Wimbledon next Saturday the Premier League fixture will be brought forward to Sunday at noon so the clash can still be screened. With many train tickets non-refundable fans would be left significantly out of pocket and many are understandably upset. Dr Rosena Allin-Khan, the shadow minister for sport, is intervening and is set to meet Andrew Jones, the Conservative minister responsible for railways, to discuss a new Fans’ Fare Scheme which would give football supporters greater flexibility on train tickets.
