Man Utd striker Rashford: I've underperformed for past 2 years

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford feels he's underperformed for the past two years.

Rashford could start in tonight's Champions League clash with Atalanta after recovering from shoulder surgery.

He said, "I can say, probably the last two years, I have been nowhere near the best I can do. It's not to say that I've not been playing well, I think I've done alright but I know that I can give more. This is the first time for me, at this stage of my career, where I feel ready to just kick on now and really be the player that I know I can be. But I want to do it within this Man United team, I want us to climb the ladder together."

Rashford scored in his comeback game at Leicester City in Saturday's defeat.

He added: “Yeah it was obviously a nice feeling. The best feeling was probably joining back in training to be honest with you, I'd been out for so long and training away from the team. That day when you can train with the team, you feel part of the team again and obviously the first game is similar to that, but the result obviously didn't go our way. Now for us, it's just important [that we look ahead to the next game].

"The next game is the most important game. There's no point looking ahead to the next block of fixtures because everybody knows that is going to be tough. But to get through that, we just take it one game at a time and try to win and perform in each game."
