"We started the game at a higher tempo," he said. "We tired towards the end but we kept going and we just stuck at it.
"They got a goal back and we didn’t fold, we kept defending well. It was an enjoyable game to play in.”
The 24-year-old also addressed the tactical change issued by his manager at half-time, when Ten Hag called upon Anthony Martial to replace Anthony Elanga, moving Rashford to the wide left.
He said: "I think with the versatility we have in the team we can do many different things, especially in attack. The game was going well in the first half, we [were] attacking some good spaces but we weren’t quite getting the end product that I felt we deserved in the first half.
“For us to be able to switch and chop and change positions like that is always a positive.”
