Marcus Rashford’s rise – from the man who first coached him

From Fletcher Moss to Manchester United

Marcus Rashford has this season become arguably Manchester United's most important player. While incredibly promising from the moment he burst onto the scene, recent seasons had seen question marks emerge over the striker's ruthlessness in front of goal.

We caught up with the England international's first ever coach, David Horrocks of Fletcher Moss Rangers, to find out what Rashford was like as a young footballer, and how he has found himself with the world at his feet.
