Rooney Puts Rashford in Front of the Biggest Challenge: the Decision Is in Your Hands

Rooney said Rashford must rebuild his relationship with fans and improve his work rate if he wants to challenge the 253-goal United record.

  • Wayne Rooney declared that Marcus Rashford is the only player capable of breaking his record of 253 goals for Manchester United, provided the forward demonstrates the necessary desire and commitment.
  • The 28-year-old Rashford returned to Old Trafford this season following loan spells at Aston Villa and Barcelona, having last played for Manchester United in December 2024 under then-manager Ruben Amorim.
  • Speaking on the Stick to United podcast with Mark Goldbridge on Disney+, Rooney urged Rashford to build a relationship with fans and improve his 'work rate' and body language.
  • Participating in Michael Carrick's pre-season preparations, Rashford is aiming for a fresh start at Manchester United after failing to secure permanent moves away from the club last term.
  • Rooney added that Rashford must carefully select those he trusts and maintain focus, stating, "I want him to succeed and score goals with Manchester United," rather than succeeding elsewhere.
