Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford linked up with Manchester City striker Phil Foden to score a scintillating volley in training.
The English duo were spotted in a video that went viral on social media putting their Manchester rivalry aside to train together. They have been seen to be in good shape ahead of next season and ahead of their preliminary rounds with their clubs.
The attacking duo teamed up to create an extraordinary goal that began with Foden playing a neat volleyed pass to Rashford. Then the Manchester United striker fired a powerful shot into the net.
š¤Rashford, 25, and Foden, 23, have just returned to their clubs for pre-season after taking an extended break due to their international commitments last month. Both appeared in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, beating Malta (4-0) and North Macedonia (7-0).
England fans will love what they saw from the duo as Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions side continue their march towards next year’s European Championship. The Manchester duo is likely to be part of the squad that will travel to Germany should they qualify.
However, before then, they will focus on their clubs with both the Red Devils and Citizens who have enjoyed impressive previous campaigns. Manchester United finished third and won the Carabao Cup, while City won the continental treble.
Marcus Rashford signs a new deal with Manchester United
Rashford has signed a new five-year contract with Manchester United that keeps him linked to Old Trafford until 2028, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The longtime England international has been in talks with the Red Devils over a new contract with just a year remaining on his previous deal. He had received interest from Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain, but has now sealed his future with Erik ten Hag’s side.
Manchester United will be delighted that Rashford’s future is in order after the Manchester-born striker’s impressive last season. He scored 30 goals and 11 assists in 56 matches across competitions and was key for Ten Hag.
Rashford finished as United’s top scorer in all competitions and made a remarkable recovery from a disappointing 2021-22 campaign. There was talk of the England player possibly leaving Old Trafford last summer after struggling for form.
However, Rashford bounced back and became vital to Teen Hag. The Dutch tactician insisted his striker could score 40 goals a season (via Manchester United’s official website):
“We’ve supported him wherever possible with his way of playing, but also with his mentality. So we’re happy with that but yeah, we have to push for more. I’m sure he can score 40 goals a season and let’s also make it the next step.”
Rashford has been at Old Trafford his entire football career, rising to the first team in 2015. He has scored 123 goals and provided 68 assists in 359 appearances.
