Marcus Rashford has expressed his desire to see "get back to winning titles and trophies", while also outlining his ambition to help secure a first World Cup since 1966.

The 22-year-old went on to reveal that he dreams of becoming an Old Trafford legend, having watched the likes of David Beckham, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs achieve greatness after coming from humble beginnings in the academy.

“You grow up around so many people who have that United legend status that it becomes part of your dream,” he explained.

“When you dream of playing for Man United, you don’t only dream of making your debut; you dream of being like Beckham, Scholes and Giggs. It’s part of the dream as an academy lad.”
