Ferdinand: Man Utd striker Rashford now smiling

Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand has finally given more information about Marcus Rashford's recent goal celebration.

The forward is in the form of his life since the World Cup, taking his tally for the season to 24 after two against Leicester City.

Many fans have wondered about the origins of Rashford pointing to his head during his celebrations.

“Rashford, I found out today by the way, I went to Carrington today to interview Bruno [Fernandes], it was good," Ferdinand said.

“I saw [long-serving receptionist] Kath [Phipps], been there 56 years the lady! Ridiculous! But the celebration, it's mentality. Nice, innit. Simple. But it's just travelled massively. Everyone round the world is doing it now. All the young kids scoring goals, that's the impact Rashford has had.

“Seeing Marcus just smiling – I've said this so many times – just seeing him smile, there's a different vibe about him.

“He's enjoying himself, there's a spring in his step. I had a nice chat, it was nice. Nice vibes in the place."
