Marcus Rashford has experienced a whirlwind 12 months with the Manchester United first team; it’s approaching a year since the England striker made his debut against FC Midtjylland in the Europa League, grabbing a brace against the Danish side before repeating the same feat against Arsenal three days later. An FA Cup winners medal and a call-up to the England squad for Euro 2016 followed, with six goals scored this season despite spending much of his time on the left of attack.
His second season at the club has been one of transition, with Jose Mourinho playing Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the lone striker for the bulk of this campaign with Rashford pushed to the left flank, but the 19-year old has spoken warmly of his Swedish teammate to Manutd.com:
“I think it’s the way his mentality works. That is probably the biggest thing, not only for the young players but other players can take that from him as well.
“In fact, that is definitely the main thing. It’s good for the dressing room. Sometimes, if we’re down, he can pick us back up and, when we’re up, he keeps us up. Bringing in that type of player, it has been key.”
