Help him. Try to [make him] feel comfortable here. Try to get confidence with us,\u201d Emery told Sky Sports when asked what his approach to Rashford has been.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTry to work. Try to use the skills in our tactical idea. Try as well to be demanding with him, and he\u2019s in this process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, he played a fantastic 45 minutes. And really this is the only thing. We want to try to be consistent through him, in our squad and in our way we are going to do [that]. But he\u2019s going to be hopefully very, very important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most important for him is try to feel comfortable here. Try to get confidence.
