Marcus Rashford has been handed the number ten ahead of the new season, as Man United look to be better than last year's showing.

Rashford has his breakout season some season ago and came into the forefront of the headlines when he played a superb game against Arsenal.

As a vote of confidence. the youngster has been handed a new shirt .


It's a long way from where manager Jose Mourinho had Rashford last season, when he made these comments after a poor performance.

"It was not good enough," said Mourinho.

"The players who replaced others did not perform at a good level and, when individuals do that, it is difficult for the team to play well.

"Maybe now you will not ask me why A, B and C do not play so much. People always ask: 'Why always Lukaku?' Well, now they know why always Lukaku, and why always this player and why always that player. We are probably not as good as people think we are individually.

"I knew what was going to happen, and I told them, but that is what we got. Brighton had one target, to get the point and celebrate their Premier League survival.

"Our target was to get points to help us finish second and they clearly showed that, for them, it is more important for them to stay in the Premier League than for us to finish second. They showed it from the first minute and we didn't show that. We were not able to motivate ourselves."

Does Rashford deserve the number let us know?
