Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has spoken about his early days as a goalkeeper, saying U.S. international Tim Howard was his idol growing up.
The 20-year-old England international is off to a strong start this season, having scored seven times over 19 appearances in all competitions.
But before Rashford developed into one of the sport's most promising forwards, the Manchester native put on the gloves as a youth — looking to then-Manchester United goalkeeper Howard for inspiration.
"My first season, I went in net," he told The Sunday Times of his experience playing for youth club Fletcher Moss Rangers.
