da bet nacional： As quoted by the club’s official website, Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has opened up on his experiences of playing for the club.
What did he say?
da dobrowin： The England international has been a mainstay of the United side for a number of years since making his breakthrough into the first-team back in February 2016. The 22-year-old has since made 187 senior appearances, scoring 54 goals and providing a further 29 assists across all competitions.
The forward endured a bit of slump in form earlier this campaign, going through a drought of just one goal in seven Premier League games. However, he has picked up the pace in recent weeks, and netted against Brighton last weekend.
And now, the United academy product has provided an insight into the kind of pressure he has to deal with when playing for one of the biggest sides in world football.
He said: “For me, I’ve been at United for many years and the amount of friends I’ve seen come and go is huge, and it just makes you feel, as you say, privileged that you managed to get the opportunity. I just try to maintain a level head.
“You know, whether you win or you lose, if you try to keep the same sort of feeling and a level head, it tends to help you best. So I don’t like to get too down or too high. It’s a huge feeling (scoring a goal). It’s always slightly different but you always get a tremendous rush of blood. It’s always something special. It’s hard to forget those moments.”
Peaks and troughs
It’s incredibly easy to forget Rashford still only remains 22. The forward has been around for what feels like forever, and has endured some truly great moments (his momentous debut week against FC Midtjylland and Arsenal), to some less than stellar occasions (a particularly dire performance against Southampton that saw him slammed by his own fans).
His start to the current campaign has been a pretty accurate snapshot of his time at Old Trafford. The fine start to the season with a brace against Chelsea, then the aforementioned goal-drought, and now the mini-revival. But if the £72m-rated man continues to maintain a level head as he suggests himself, then he will give himself the best possible platform to make a truly legendary career at United.
