Excellent! Rash and Ibra side by side will be nightmare for the defenders in the league, they will not be knocked off the ball and both
know how to make a pass
Cmon the season, time to start !

Marcus Rashford pinpoints reasons for his meteoric rise at Manchester UnitedManchester United striker Marcus Rashford has cited the academy's ethos and coaches for his meteoric rise. The 18-year-old was handed the first team debut by former Red Devils manager Louis van Gaal in February and since then he has never looked back. Follow the latest Premier League ins and outs on our dedicated summer transfer page An injury to Anthony Martial during the warmup in the Europa League second leg clash against FC Midtjylland has changed the teenager's career. He started in place of the France international and scored a brace. He even scored two goals on his Premier League debut against Arsenal as United sealed a 3-2 win. Rashford went on to score eight goals in all competitions since making his debut in February. He even made his England debut and was part of the Three Lions squad in the Euro 2016. His rise saw new United manager Jose Mourinho hand him a fresh deal in May. The striker also revealed his family's role in his development as a player. "The Academy's ethos played a big part in my development - this club want to win at every level and that is what they strive to do. Paul McGuiness and Colin Little have been very influential coaches whilst I have been in the Academy," Rashford told the Premier League's official website. "The environment is very important - at Manchester United you are very well looked after both on and off the pitch. From the moment I came here I have felt at home and there are so many coaches and players around to give you advice." "I would say the step up to the first team was the most significant. At the start of the season my aim was to cement a place in the U21s team. So to get the call up to be included in the first team was like a dream come true. To play football in front of 75,000 fans at Old Trafford is what most young boys dream of doing." "This is a family club and to have coaches like Nicky Butt preparing you for that step up is invaluable, because they have been there and done exactly the same thing so they know how it feels. My brothers also helped me get where I am now, because they got me into football." www.ibtimes.co.uk/marcus-rashford-pinpoints-reasons-his-meteoric-rise-manchester-united-1572940

please lets also get this right, whilst he can go wide and come in, he is best centrally.
play players in their best position to get the best of them and make them more effective for the team.
the manager likes specialists not utility players.

www.football365.com/news/rashford-hopes-to-learn-plenty-from-ibrahimovicEngland striker Marcus Rashford expects to learn a lot from Zlatan Ibrahimovic even if the Swede’s arrival at Manchester United might limit his first-team opportunities. Rashford burst onto the scene last season, with the 18-year-old emerging from the youth ranks to earn a place in the first XI and an unexpected trip to Euro 2016. But new United boss Jose Mourinho has strengthened his hand with the signing of Ibrahimovic, who scored with a bicycle kick four minutes into his first appearance against Galatasaray on Saturday, leaving Rashford to scrap for game time. Two of our writers cannot decide whether Ibrahimovic’s arrival will be good or bad news for United. Time will tell how that works out, and the teenager believes simply sharing a dressing room with someone of Ibrahimovic’s stature will help him advance. “We can definitely all learn from him while he is here, so we all need to take that chance,” Rashford told MUTV. “It’s a massive help to be with him every day and it’s great to see what he is like on and off the pitch. There is a lot to learn from him and hopefully I can bring some of his game into mine.” Rashford’s rise might have come at a dizzying pace earlier this year, but he is happy to slow things down again as he looks to establish himself in the Old Trafford set-up. “I’m preparing for the new season now,” he said. “There’s no need to rush into anything – I’m taking my time, taking it steady.” Mourinho has spoken of his concern at United’s readiness for the new season, due to the number of players given extended breaks following Euro 2016 and the unsatisfactory nature of their tour to China, where a match against Manchester City was cancelled due to poor conditions. But Rashford is looking ahead with excitement after a full-strength United side – in terms of personnel if not fitness – came from 2-1 down to see off their Turkish opponents. “It’s really important to get that first win together as a group, it’s great for us in the build-up to the season,” Rashford said. “The manager wasn’t concerned (about being 2-1 behind at half-time) and just told us to push and close the space, something we did really well in the second half. “There’s a lot of optimism, as that is only our second pre-season game as a full squad – it was the first game for some players. “It is very exciting for both fans and players.”

It's Rashford's brain and youthful assurance that marks him out. He can pnly see opportunity not restraints. Young players are often untainted by past history and frustrations but this lad seems to ooze expectation.

Rashford looks like he is going through gears, shifted up about 3 different times, and just blew by defenders that thought
they had an angle on him. Straight away speed is "impressive" but pace that blows by defenders and takes away their
positions/angles is like another level. An he hasn't really hit his physical peak yet. He is the real deal for sure.
An by all accounts, works his ass off, and if he is following Ibra, he couldn't find a better mentor, cuz Ibra works
as hard as anyone in football.
There was another video that went a bit further and showed Ibra sitting an raising his eyebrows an saying something, and
Ander grinning and patting Ibra on the shoulder like "yep, and he is only 18"

I actually listened to a bit of this last night, basically by accident when I clicked the button the wrong way setting my alarm. Lambert really is fucking clueless. It's scary he's allegedly a professional football manager. |

It's scary he's allegedly a professional football manager. Well. We all saw how that professional football manager thing turned out for him didn't we. Hence the cluelessness. |

MOURINHO ON RASHFORD'S ENGLAND ROLE Jose Mourinho is more than happy with Marcus Rashford's progression with England and hailed his status as the number two striker to Zlatan Ibrahimovic in Manchester United's no.9 role. The Reds boss was asked about Rashford's switch from the England senior squad to the Under-21s group following his impressive, albeit fleeting, exploits for the Three Lions at Euro 2016. Mourinho is not concerned at all and believes it's more important for the teenager's development that he plays matches for the U21s rather than possibly sit on the bench for Sam Allardyce's national side. "The situation with England is funny because when you are 18 years old and are in the Under-21 national team, I don't think it's a drama," Mourinho explained in an exclusive interview with MUTV. "I think he's fantastic, I think he's very good. But to be honest, for his development, I think it's better to be in the Under-21s and play two international matches than go to Slovakia with the first team and sit watching Harry Kane and [Jamie] Vardy and those experienced players that Sam is going to select. So I think it's very good for him at the age of 18 to play in the Under-21 national team. "To be, at this moment, Manchester United's second striker [in the no.9 position] – not the third or fourth or fifth – behind one of the top players in the world, who he can learn so much from, I think his situation is very good." www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2016/Aug/mourinho-happy-with-rashford-england-progress-and-says-he-is-no-2-to-zlatan.aspx?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=ManUtd |
