Marcus Rashford recalls first meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United

Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford has recalled the first time he met legendary boss Sir Alex Ferguson as a youngster in the Reds' academy.

The 25-year-old came through the academy at United, having joined the Reds after spending a week training with rivals Manchester City, with Liverpool also thought to be keen on the player at the time. Rashford progressed through the age groups - training with the first-team for the first time aged 16 under the management of David Moyes during the 2013/14 season.

Rashford went on to make his senior debut in February 2016 against Danish club Midtjylland after Anthony Martial was injured in the warm-up. The Englishman marked his first-team debut with two goals in the second half of a 5–1 win. The forward's Premier League debut came just three days later against Arsenal, where he scored twice and provided the assist for the other in a 3-2 win over the Gunners.
