Rashford excited by Ten Hag’s detailed first week

The Academy graduate and lifelong Reds supporter sat down with our club reporter Joe Ganley at Carrington on Saturday afternoon to speak in detail about his summer break, pre-season and the 2022/23 campaign.

As you can read in the Q&A below, a revitalised Rashford is feeling excited about the future and particularly after experiencing a first week of intense but enjoyable session under Ten Hag. Check out the in-depth interview here…

Welcome back Marcus, it’s great to see you again. Can you just tell us how it feels to be back at the club ahead of what should be a really exciting season?
“Yeah, definitely, we have got that feeling of excitement and that buzz around the training ground again and so it is definitely positive going into pre-season. It is just about, one, getting the principles right of how Erik wants us to play and the details, and, two, enjoying it. In the first week of training we have done both and everyone is looking forward to going on the tour and putting what we have done in training into the first games.”

It is a fresh start for everyone and we can all really sense that at the training ground and around the club. It’s nice to look at the future, isn’t it?
“It is a fresh start for everyone and for me personally I have had quite a long break, a nice camp before coming back into training, and how we are starting off on the right foot. Like I said, everyone is looking forward to pre-season now and going out to try to put into the games what we have learned in training so far, and what we will continue to learn, not only in the pre-season but throughout the season as well.”
