Manchester United ace Marcus Rashford says he cannot afford to relax during the season.

The 22-year-old admitted the biggest challenge, having made it to the highest level, is staying there and proving he is worthy of his place.

He said: “It's a massive privilege.

“For me, I've been at United for many years and the amount of friends I've seen come and go is huge. It just makes you feel, as you say, privileged that you managed to get the opportunity.

“But once you get the opportunity, the hardest thing is staying there. So that's the challenge.

“For me, at Manchester United, they develop you to a stage where you don't necessarily feel the pressure. It's more just something that you have to live up to.

“But because you've been there for so long, they try to instil it into you to try to live up to the expectations of Manchester United – which, of course, are very high.

“Naturally, if you do live up to the expectations, you don't have to deal with any pressure. So that's the way I think about it."
