Man Utd striker Marcus Rashford: How I take penalties

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has detailed his approach to penalties.

Rashford first took a penalty for United in last season's dramatic Champions League tie against Paris Saint-Germain, when his last-gasp spot-kick sealed a famous win for his side.

And he's explained to MUTV how he goes about stepping up from 12 yards in high-pressure environments: “There has been a lot of talk (about penalties) but it is all about clearing that out of your head and just getting back down to basics.

“When it comes down to it, that is all you know, to get to the first team, it is by doing the basics and working hard.

“I just try to look at the keeper, especially a keeper like him because he has a good jump and likes to go early. If it is not hard and in the corner, then he has a chance of saving it. But it was a nice feeling to score."
