Ole Gunnar Solskjaer claims Marcus Rashford is delighted with his shoulder surgery as he continues his rehabilitation from the injury setback.
It was decided over the summer that the Manchester United forward would undergo the procedure after struggling with the shoulder issue towards during most of last season and during the summer's European Championships with England.
Rashford, 23, tore a muscle in his shoulder last November but only underwent the surgery on August 6 of this year after requiring painkilling injections in order to play during that period.
The forward is optimistic of getting back onto the pitch by October, with Solskjaer claiming he is already doing gym work to stay fit during his rehabilitation.
Speaking about Rashford, Solskjaer told a press conference this week: 'He seemed very happy with the surgery.
'He's working in the gym, we see him every day, so he'll be chomping at the bit when it gets nearer to the time when he can come back.
'Of course, any time you're off with an injury is a hard time but it's also time to reflect and find yourself again. That's what we hope is going to happen to Marcus.'
