Rashford can complete redemption arc by ending Man United's trophy drought with Carabao Cup

Marcus Rashford's last kick at Wembley Stadium was a missed penalty playing for England against Italy in the final of the European Championship in July 2021. He returns this weekend with the chance to help Manchester United win their first piece of silverware in nearly six years.

Lifting the Carabao Cup would be tangible evidence of United's progress under manager Erik ten Hag, but also an opportunity for Rashford to continue his own resurgence. In the 18 months since his penalty clipped the outside of Gianluigi Donnarumma's right post, the striker endured his worst period as a professional and was dropped by England.
