- Rashford struggled last year and lost his place in the United starting XI

Ian Wright has hailed Marcus Rashford's start to the season and said the Manchester United forward 'looks reborn' under Erik ten Hag.
Rashford netted twice in United's 3-1 win over Arsenal on Sunday, meaning the England star has already scored three times and added two assists in six games this campaign.
This is a far cry from his struggles last year, when the 24-year-old was regularly left out of the team by interim boss Ralf Rangnick and contributed just four goals and two assists across the whole Premier League season.

And Arsenal favourite Wright was thoroughly impressed with how Rashford is playing at the moment.
'Looking at Manchester United, in the current climate, you don’t want those players to get confidence,' he told the Ringer FC podcast.
‘But Rashford looks reborn, he’s putting the pot on the fire because he’s ready to cook. In that instance (running through on goal), he looks unstoppable.
‘The only thing that is going to stop him is if the pass isn’t good enough, or his touch isn’t good enough.

‘Both of the finishes got a little clip off somebody, but he’s getting the luck now. With his pace, he is f****** dangerous.'
Wright also felt as if the confidence was returning to Rashford and this was key for his improved performances.
He added: 'I was really pleased for Rashford because – it was the same as the Liverpool game – he’s another one of those players that everything he does is quite defining.
‘If he misses that (first goal), it goes to that place of real negativity again. But what I’ve seen from him up until this point, especially with the last two goals he’s scored, is somebody that thinks “If I’m going through, I’m scoring”.'
Ten Hag's side have now won four games on the trot and sit in fifth place after six games so far this season.
