Rashford feels new ‘buzz’ under Ten Hag

Marcus Rashford feels refreshed following his summer break and believes there is already a “buzz” under Erik ten Hag, the new Manchester United manager. United finished with their lowest points tally of the Premier League era last season, with Rashford often singled out for criticism as he scored only five times, his worst return in a single campaign. His loss of form led to him losing his place in the England squad but, after admitting he needed to “switch off” a couple of months ago, he is now energised and believes the rest of his colleagues are too. “We have got that feeling of excitement and that buzz around the training ground again,” he said. “I feel like I probably needed that time to switch off a little bit ... I feel ready and focused so, when that first game does come, it’s good to know you have done almost six weeks of training beforehand.”
