Man Utd starlet Rashford reveals surprising Red Devils idol

Marcus Rashford has revealed he used to idolise former Manchester United goalkeeper Tim Howard.

Despite being a forward, the 20-year-old says the American, who made his name with Everton after leaving United, was once the player he looked up too.

"My first season, I went in net," said Rashford.

"The thrill of scoring a goal, you get that same thrill when you save a good chance.

"Tim Howard was my idol. I used to have a little Tim Howard shirt."
