Rashford: I'm now used to Man Utd pressure

Manchester United youngster Marcus Rashford has stated that he is now comfortable dealing with the pressure that comes with playing for the Red Devils.

Rashford has enjoyed a meteoric rise to prominence since breaking into the United first team last season and the youngster is now an established member of the squad.

Despite being just 19, Rashford has shown tremendous maturity to become a key part of Jose Mourinho's side and the striker has revealed that being able to deal with the immense pressure of playing for the Red Devils has helped him develop.

The striker told the EFL Cup final matchday programme: "It's not been difficult to stay grounded, no.

"It's difficult in terms of the pressures when perhaps results haven't gone our way. But I'm used to that now.

"It's a massive club and everybody expects massive things. It's up to me and everybody else to make sure we deliver on it."

Rashford replaced goalscorer Jesse Lingard in the 77th minute at Wembley as United defeated Southampton 3-2 to life the league cup.
