Marcus Rashford has confidently expressed that the Manchester United squad can greatly improve their strength under Ruben Amorim's 3-4-3 formation.

After netting two goals in United's most comprehensive Premier League win this season, a dazzling 4-0 triumph over Everton at Old Trafford, Rashford reflected on his return to form.

The dynamic forward, back in the first team after warming the bench during the 3-2 victory against Bodo/Glimt, struck twice around the half-time marker, tallying his second and third goals since Amorim stepped into Erik ten Hag's shoes last month.

Fellow attacker Joshua Zirkzee also notched up a brace, ensuring United have won two and drawn one in the wake of Amorim's appointment.

Reflecting on the tactical shift post-match to MUTV, Rashford stated: "Not only is it difficult for us, it is also encouraging for us to learn something new. We feel we can get a lot stronger in this system."

He added, "Also, we've not played this system before and nobody knows what to expect from us. It puts us in a good position because we have got so many personnel and different players that can play in different positions."

Rashford continued, emphasizing the dynamic nature of the squad, "We can change a lot in games and set up differently for different games, so like I have said, it is exciting. I don't want to get too carried away, but like I have said earlier, the energy and the atmosphere is what we want from Old Trafford."

Rashford broke the deadlock at Old Trafford, expertly meeting a Bruno Fernandes corner after timing his run perfectly into the box.

The striker revealed this was a premeditated move from the training ground: "For me, the first one is something that we deliberately worked on just yesterday," Rashford said.

"When you don't have many days between games, you work on these things to try and catch teams off their guard, because a lot of teams' set-ups are good."

He added, "We need to find these little things, and it is not going to happen every game, but as long as the intent is there and we believe that we're going to score and we try, at the end of the game we can't complain about anything."
