BENGALURU : Manchester United's Marcus Rashford has had a "wake-up call" after being dropped over a disciplinary issue and must spur himself on to be more consistent, the Premier League club's former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said on Friday.The 26-year-old England international missed a training session after reportedly being seen at nightspots in Belfast and was absent from United's 4-2 FA Cup fourth-round victory at Newport County last month.United said they had dealt with the "internal disciplinary matter" and Rashford scored on his return to Erik ten Hag's starting side in last week's 4-3 league win at Wolverhampton Wanderers.Rashford scored a career-best 30 goals last season but has only netted six times in all competitions this term and 50-year-old Solskjaer said he needed to rediscover his best form."Obviously I managed Marcus for three years and I know him.

It's not my job to go out and discuss his performances, but last season he was fantastic and it's about consistency in football," Solskjaer told Reuters in the south Indian city of Bengaluru."Marcus and many others haven't hit the heights this season.

I'm sure he had a wake-up call last week and hopefully that will spur him on."Is it the manager's job to get the best out of him, or is it mostly himself or any player's responsibility to get the best out of yourself?

I think that's more it."Speaking during the first leg of his India tour, which also includes visits to Mumbai and New Delhi, Solskjaer, who won the Champions League, six Premier League titles and two FA Cup trophies playing for United, said he had full faith in Rashford."He's had a fantastic career, some ups and downs," added the Norwegian, who is being hosted by Tilak Gaurang Shah of quizzing
