Marcus Rashford Reveals Most Important Lesson He Learnt Developing At Man United’s Academy

Manchester United striker, Marcus Rashford says the desire to improve everyday was an important lesson he learnt while developing at the English Premier League (EPL) club’s academy for roughly 11 years.

Speaking recently to award-winning podcaster, best-selling author and Manchester United fan, Jay Shetty, the 23-year-old gave fans an insight into his own mind.

“Just to try and improve every day,” Rashford said.

“As players, we got a duty and a responsibility to give our best for the team.

“To do that, we have to keep pushing ourselves every day to be better than we were the day before.

“That’s what motivates me and keeps me going in the right direction.”

The Manchester United no.10 was asked if he ever had doubts about making it as a first-team player at his favourite club. He replied: “You always believe you’re going to make it as a footballer because you have to, if that’s what you’re trying to do.

“But making it at United is different to making it as a footballer.

“As a youngster, you have to prepare yourself for not making it at United, just in order for not getting too down if it doesn’t happen.

“It enables you to keep going. To play for United is a massive achievement for me and I feel really proud to be here.”

The Red Devils attacker has been in fine form this campaign, scoring 18 goals and providing 12 assists in 45 appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.

Since making the breakthrough in the first team in 2016, Rashford has hit 90 goals in 273 games and surpassed Eric Cantona in Manchester United's all-time top goalscorer charts.
