Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford gets paid to put he ball in the net, not to make saves in his own goal.

But there was a time, Rashford says, when he idolized the Red Devils' then-goalkeeper – a guy named Tim Howard – and wanted to be just like him.

Speaking to his old youth club, the 20-year-old England international also said that he's willing and able to fill in between the sticks at Old Trafford if he's ever needed there.

"My first season, I went in net," he said. "The thrill of scoring a goal, you get that same thrill when you save a good chance," he said.
