Last season, Marcus Rashford was only behind Bruno Fernandes in terms of goal involvement at Manchester United while playing through pain.

The organisation Rangnick has brought has led to Fred…
Manchester United players returned to Carrington to resume training on Tuesday. United’s games against Brentford and Brighton were cancelled following which the players were forced to train at home.
