We prove uniruledness of a projective manifold containing a submanifold not of general type whose normal bundle has positivity properties and moreover study the rational quotient. We also relate the fundamental groups and prove a cohomological criterion for a manifold to be rationally connected.11 pages, final version, to appear in International Journal of MathAlgebraic Geometry14E30; 14J40text
