When Erik ten Hag finally steps into his office at Manchester United 's training ground on Monday to kick-off pre-season, he'll have an agenda unrivalled by any manager in the world waiting on his desk.
Pressure to rise above, targets to meet, expectations to live up to - and that'll just be his weekly press conferences. However, a bullet point on his to-do list by the name of Marcus Rashford will soon become a priority. That's because the 24-year-old is preparing for undoubtedly the biggest season of his now stalling career.
Off the back of 2020-21 and arguably his best campaign since spectacularly breaking through as a bright 18-year-old in early 2016 - and his longest spell on the sidelines injured, due to long put-off surgery - Rashford contributed just five goals and two last term. To compound his personal misery, 2021-22 also saw his boyhood club record their lowest points tally in Premier League history.
