How Rashford has proved the pundits wrong
Academy coach Colin Little spent countless hours on the training pitch with the England international in his youth-team days and helped the forward develop a different mindset. It is all about the goals now for United’s top scorer, but pigeon-holing players as traditional no.9s may be missing the point.
As Little explains, many sides no longer operate with an out-and-out centre-forward and the game has definitely evolved. Consequently, Rashford is able to provide a constant threat when stationed wider on the left and still rack up a healthy goal tally – and this is down to the work he puts in at the Aon Training Complex.
