Marcus Rashford started his first Premier League game for Manchester United in 21 months in the 5-2 victory over Ipswich at Old Trafford. Harry Maguire, the Manchester United defender, is confident that Rashford will have a significant impact at the club this season. Maguire made this statement in an interview with BBC Football.
Rashford's future at United seemed uncertain when he fell out with former boss Ruben Amorim and was loaned out to Aston Villa and then Barcelona, where he would have stayed had the Catalans activated a £26m transfer fee. However, Maguire believes that Rashford has benefited from working with Unai Emery and Hansi Flick during his time away from Old Trafford. Michael Carrick describes Rashford as being like a new signing, suggesting that he has been rejuvenated after his time away from the club.
Maguire thinks that Rashford is a great talent and a threat to opposing teams. He also believes that Rashford will be a great asset to Manchester United if he remains driven and hungry. With the transfer window closing on Tuesday night, it now looks certain that Rashford will remain at his boyhood club.
