United will be looking to maintain the momentum when they travel to face Crystal Palace this weekend and speaking after the Barnsley win, Rashford set his side the challenge of finding consistency.
"Football is football," he told Sky Sports. "Sometimes you have ups sometimes you have downs but you have to use these games to find momentum, find consistency and just try your best to bring your best level in each game. We’ll move on to the next game now. Just rest and recover and focus on the next one now.
"As a front unit and midfield I thought we done really well today. It's important to have those relationships on the pitch. As a front unit, linking with the midfield I thought we did very well today. Before the first goal was a little bit difficult but after the first one we found better spaces and made better decisions."
