Man United star Marcus Rashford hailed ‘intelligent’ by pundit after footage emerges
Paul Robinson has claimed Man United forward Marcus Rashford is “intelligent” for returning to training early.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Spurs and England number one said “there is a lot of positives” for the 24-year-old ahead of next season.
Rashford struggled for game time last season.
On his personal Instagram (18 June), the England international posted a video of himself doing sprints as he steps up his training ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
Man United embark on their pre-season tour next month before returning for their first Premier League fixture against Brighton on 7 August.
When asked by Football Insider for his thoughts Rashford’s prospects under Erik ten Hag, Robinson said: “There is a lot of positives for Rashford.
“He can play in a lot of different positions which will help.
“It is good to see that he is already in training.
“Football is more of a 24/7 lifestyle than it has ever been. Players realise that it is all about getting that extra edge. Their body is their office. Their body is their money-making machine.
“The more physically fit they are, the better they will be and the more money they will earn. It will only benefit themselves.
“It is intelligent for Rashford to stay fit. Will he get an opportunity at the start of the season? We will have to wait and see.
“We have heard very little from the manager in regard to what kind of player he wants. It is up to Rashford to hit the ground running in pre-season.”
