Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has opened up about his unusual new goal celebration.
After scoring for his club, the England star has, of late, been pointing fingers at himself.
And the academy graduate has explained his action, referring to the new structures set up at United, with the team’s form rising under new boss Erik ten Hag.
“It’s a whole different energy around the club and the training ground,” Rashford said. (Quotes via The Sun)
“That puts me in a better mental space, and now I feel really motivated. That is the area in which he was struggling.
“Sometimes I was struggling with more mental things. It wasn’t really my own performance, but other things off the pitch. That’s the biggest difference from last season.
“Too often last season, I wasn’t in the right headspace for games. I wasn’t surprised by some of the things that were happening.”
With fresh ideas on and off the pitch, Ten Hag has done well to restore optimism to Old Trafford after a fiendish campaign last time out.
Rashford’s form in that dreadful term was perhaps the worst of his professional career, but the England star is now playing the best football of his life.
Ten Hag’s methods clearly work for the player, and his feedback suggests so too.
With Rashford now firing on all cylinders between the ears and on the turf, there has been a renewed sense of faith among the fanbase.
Marcus Rashford has scored 17 goals and provided 4 assists in all competitions for Manchester United so far this season, as well as three FIFA World Cup goals.
