He can jump, he can run with the ball, he's got a ferocious shot, he can take free-kicks… "It is stark to hear Rashford say I wasn't in the right headspace going into a match," Neville said.

Man United's Marcus Rashford: World Cup out of mind amid top four ... (ESPN)

Marcus Rashford said he has put the World Cup out of his mind to make sure Manchester United stay in touch with the Premier League top four.

I just want it to keep going really and keep enjoying it, if we're winning games I'm sure that will happen. "It's stuff that he mentioned as soon as he came in, we've been working on that, not meaningfully, but we've been improving and the best way to do it is on the pitch and in games like that." "I'm concentrating on the next game, we have to try and keep winning games here, we've got two more league games before the World Cup, if we win those two games we'll stay in touch with the top four so that's what I'm focused on."

Rashford: My Academy journey (Manchester United)

The other two are just what I’ve known from being in the Academy and they’re the two things – being disciplined and focusing on your future – other than your talent that will get you into the first team." You have to enjoy training, enjoy the games and enjoy things that have to come with it. In my age group, there were four or five of us that were pushing for the first team. That’s the main aim for a lot of people. And I think you can see now, my age group and [those born in] 1996 – the year above – there’s a lot of players that are playing league football. So if we just kept doing the right things in training, even if the weekend came and we lost or we didn’t play as well as we wanted to, we were always developing as a team. We had some good players in our team and training was always intense and of a high quality. I had a problem with my back, so I couldn’t train with them, but that was the year I wanted to step up and try to go on the pre-season tour. I’ve had a lot of good coaches over the years, everyone had a big part to play in getting me where I am today. It’s tough, especially in the Academy – the best players that you come up against are the ones in training. When did you first make the step up from Academy to first-team training?
