Marcus Rashford Insists The Winning Feeling Is Back For Manchester United
14:15, 21 Nov 2017

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford insists the winning feeling is returning to Old Trafford as he targets more silverware at the club.

The youngster has already lifted the FA Cup, EFL Cup and Europa League since his United debut back in February 2016, when he burst onto the scene with two goals against FC Midtjylland.

Rashford has been a prominent figure for the Reds this season with seven goals and four assists in 17 appearances.  

The 20-year-old now wants to experience more success at United as Jose Mourinho’s side look to chase down rivals Manchester City in the Premier League title race.

Rashford told Sky Sports: “As soon as you win a trophy, in my mind straightaway you're thinking about winning the next trophy. That's when you can miss the moment of enjoying winning that trophy, it's difficult.

"We went through that second year and won three trophies in the year, so we were winning things and winning things and it became normal for us.

"That's what United has always been about, so it is important for us to try and get that feeling back to Old Trafford of winning."

"It's definitely coming back, but where they were to where we are now, we've still got a long way to go because they were consecutively winning," he added.

The England international also described the difficulty of consecutively winning trophies year after year and how he wants help make Old Trafford a fortress.

United are currently on a 39-game unbeaten run in all competitions at the Theatre of Dreams, with their last defeat coming in September 2016 against City.

"Consecutively winning is different to winning one thing or winning two things. It's more difficult because everybody wants to beat you.

"We want to make it (Old Trafford) the fortress that it was before. I think we're on a path back to doing that. We've got the right manager, we have the right staff, so it's just about producing now on the field."

Rashford is set to play a key role over the coming months as all clubs enter the busy Christmas schedule, where United play the likes of Arsenal and City.

The Mancunian has previous against both those sides, as he bagged two goals on his Premier League debut against Arsenal in February 2016, while he netted the winner in the Manchester derby a month later.
