Marcus Rashford with his signature celebration
Recently, the MU striker revealed the meaning of the above celebration. Sharing in a talk with Rio Ferdinand, Rashy said: "I used to struggle with psychological problems, my mental health. Those problems are not really related to the performance on the pitch, but mainly revolves around issues outside of life."
Rashford also admitted that he had many psychological and mental problems after Euro 2020: " There were so many times last season that my head wasn't really focused on the game ." Rashford's share can be the explanation for this striker's poor performance in the 2021/2022 season.
