Onana defends Rashford
Speaking after beating Southampton, Onana admitted Rashford wasn't great last season and was impressed with his display at Southampton.
"He had a tough season last year, you know. He wasn't at his best, like all of us, but today he showed himself, he showed he is a great player, one of the best in the world, but that's football and life," he told TNT Sports via Manchester Evening News.
The Cameroon goalkeeper, who saved a penalty against Southampton, hopes the England star can kick on after a few difficult weeks.
"Today he came back again, scored an important goal for us and hopefully he'll do much more for us. I'm really happy for him because he needs his goals."
Man United faces Barnsley, Crystal Palace, and FC Twente in their next matches, and Rashford will be looking to add more goals.
