Europa League: Manchester United's Marcus Rashford dismisses burnout fears ahead of AC Milan clash

Firstpost  

With 46 appearances for his club and his country in less than six months, Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is pushing his body to the limit in a condensed football season like no other. “It’s the life of a footballer — we can rest when we retire,” Rashford said on Wednesday, a day before appearance No 47 when United play AC Milan in the highest-profile match in the Europa League’s last 16. “For now, I’m happy playing as many games as I can.” There’s a chance, if United goes deep in the Europa League and the FA Cup, of a further 18 matches for his club this season. United’s chances of silverware this season rest on the Europa League — the team is tied 1-1 with Milan heading into the second leg in Italy on Thursday — and the FA Cup, where Leicester lies in wait in the quarterfinals on Sunday. “We need to start doing it now, winning trophies and taking steps in that direction.” Solskjaer sees being second in the Premier League, 14 points behind champion-elect Manchester City, as a sign of progress by United given his team finished in third place last season, 33 points behind first-place Liverpool.
