We loved Marcus Rashford on the rise at Manchester United and the top scorer in the 2022/23 season. Rashford’s upbringing, the way Manchester United took care of the boy. The extreme self-discipline and willingness to work to achieve the goal of playing for Manchester United as an adult. Then the fantastic 2022/23 season in which Rashford showed himself as the top scorer. In the summer of 2023, United jacked up Rashford’s weekly wage to £325,000. After this, everything came crashing down. A year and a half later, the next natural step for Rashford is outside Old Trafford. We believe a great opportunity is now opening up, an opportunity Rashford must take advantage of.
That opportunity lies with Antonio Conte, along with United mates Steve McTominay and Romelu Lukaku.
You don’t have to like the Italian or be particularly impressed with what he delivered at Chelsea or Tottenham, but no one can take away from the Italian bundle of energy the job he did as Inter Milan coach with Romelu Lukaku in particular, but also Alexis Sanchez and Ashley Young.
Three Manchester United players who were written off at Old Trafford, but who Conte really got going. Lukaku went from being labelled as “fat” at United, to playing and scoring as one of Europe’s sharpest top scorers at Conte and Inter. Now Lukaku is back with Conte at Napoli and again in title contention. This time with an awakened McTominay.
Now something is happening in the back room that gives Rashford the opportunity to take his “wake-up call”.
PSG have long been linked with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but now the Ligue 1 giants are facing strong competition from Manchester United. The Premier League club have signed up, with Rashford being put in as part of a deal to bring the Georgian winger to Old Trafford.
Napoli’s negotiations with Kvaratskhelia over an extension have stalled, Antonio Conte is the coach who will quickly give Marcus Rashford his glow back.
We firmly believe Rashford will get a total makeover under Antonio Conte’s “wildness” energy, hands-on coaching, as well as high-octane training and attacking football. This will wake Marcus Rashford out of the slumber he got himself into after his fantastic 30-goal 2022/23 season.
Marcus Rashford + Conte equals world class.
