Rashford: Mental break helped me recover my form

In the clip, Rashford talks about how time out during the summer has breathed new life into his career, following a difficult 2021/22 season.

“It was time away from everything,” explained Marcus. “I think physically I needed a rest, and I’ve probably needed a rest for a while, but mentally, just to have two weeks or whatever it was to just switch off – it’s something that I probably don’t do enough. Because we’re obviously really busy and there’s always something to look forward to, and something to work towards. 

“I didn’t know I needed it. But when I’ve had it, when I’ve come back, and even towards the back end of [the] holidays, I just felt in a different headspace, to be honest.”
