Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford seeking a fresh start under Erik Ten Hag at Old Trafford
The England forward lost his place in the national team last season, as he endured a difficult campaign along with his United team-mates. As well as their collective struggles, which saw the club suffer their worst-ever Premier League finish, Rashford had a tricky time personally - scoring just four goals in 25 top-flight matches.
After the anguish of his Euro 2020 final penalty shootout miss, Rashford had the worst possible start to last season as he was forced to miss the opening games following shoulder surgery. The 24-year-old is aiming to put the disappointment of the last year behind him, as he looks to play a vital part in the rebuilding process at Old Trafford.
"It is an opportunity to refresh. I am ready to go again," Rashford said. “For me it is a fresh start, something I am looking forward to." Jadon Sancho and Anthony Martial will continue to provide competition to Rashford for a place in Ten Hag’s starting line-up, but with a strong pre-season behind him, he is feeling excited for what is to come. "I had just under four weeks off. It has not been natural to have such a long break. This is my first year I have been with the team since the beginning (of pre-season),” he said.
