‘Fresh and ready’: Rashford looks forward to new season

MARCUS RASHFORD is refreshed, refocused and relishing the chance of a “fresh start” under new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag following a poor display last season.

It is a year and three days since the 24-year-old suffered the crushing disappointment of missing a penalty in England’s shoot-out defeat to Italy in the European Championship final at Wembley.

Post-tournament shoulder surgery meant Rashford did not feature for United until mid-October, when an initial flurry of goals quickly dried up during the forward’s poorest campaign to date.
