The Red Devils striker hit a double at Stamford Bridge either side of Michy Batshuayi’s goal to put Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side into the quarter-finals.
And Rashford insists United are on the right track after a third successive away win.
“We’ve been in a tough place. We’re still getting through that phase,” Rashford said.
“The only way to get through it is to fight through it and win because they’re the things which keep everyone happy. When you’ve won, you wake up with a good feeling. The main focus was improvement and development.
“We’re definitely going places, from pre-season we did a lot of good work. The start of the season wasn’t what we expected but we’ve got to get through it.”
Solskjaer also admitted United are a “work in progress” after their recent revival.
“We’ve travelled a lot in the last week. We’ve got a good team spirit and camaraderie. It shows the character of the team,” Solskjaer said.
“We get the games where we want them. We’ve been leading 1-0 in many games and not kicked on. Today we were excellent, fast flowing. That’s Manchester United. We’re trying to get back to that.
“Marcus has that strike in him. I’ve seen him in training so many times.
“When you give young lads the experience, like Brandon Williams got tonight – and the kid was outstanding – it’s only going to help them. We know we’re not the finished product, we’re a work in progress and keep trying to improve.”
