Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has been arguably the best player in the World after World Cup. His stunning form since the World Cup has seen Manchester United jump to third place, five points behind leaders Arsenal and three points behind second-place Manchester City. The Red Devils are also in the final of the Carabao Cup.
Rashford has scored 15 goals in 17 appearances for Manchester United since the World Cup. His icon trademark celebration has accompanied Rashford’s stunning form, where the 25-year-old stands and points his finger to his temple.
The England international has revealed the celebration resulted from the mental issues he experienced last season.
He said: “I was struggling at times with more mental things. It wasn’t really my own performance but other things off the pitch,’ he said last year, around the time he first started doing the celebration. ‘Too often last season, I wasn’t in the right headspace for games.”

Manchester United Legend Rio Ferdinand was at Carrington and had an interview with Marcus Rashford and other Manchester United players.
What did Rio Ferdinand say?
Speaking on his Youtube Channel Vibe with Five, The Manchester United Icon said: “Rashford, I found out today. By the way, I went to Carrington today to interview Bruno [Fernandes], and it was good. I saw [long-serving receptionist] Kath [Phipps], been there 56 years, the lady! Ridiculous!
“But the celebration, it’s mentality. Nice, innit. Simple. But it’s just travelled massively. Everyone round the world is doing it now. All the young kids scoring goals, that’s the impact Rashford has had.”
He continued: “Seeing Marcus just smiling – I’ve said this so many times – just seeing him smile, there’s a different vibe about him.
“He’s enjoying himself, there’s a spring in his step. I had a nice chat, it was nice. Nice vibes in the place.”
Rio Ferdinand was impressed with the atmosphere around Carrington.
He added: “The vibes at Carrington have changed dramatically. It’s just become more positive, the ambiance in the place.
“Everything has changed there; it looks different, feels different. The feeling when you walk in there, man… I’ve had very, very negative vibes over the years when I’ve walked through the corridors of the training ground.
“And I walked through there today, and it filled me with a little smile. I was on my own, walking back through the corridors, and I just smiled a little bit.
“It’s weird to say, but I can sense something happening here now. I don’t know what it is, I don’t know where it’s going to get to, but the ambiance is very different; there’s a confidence throughout the place.
“And the confidence isn’t from the players alone, it’s the staff. I can sense something with the staff. They’re all more upbeat, happy to be in at work everyday, and that’s all been created and generated by Erik ten Hag and his team.”
