Marcus Rashford breaks Manchester United record held by Ryan Giggs
Marcus Rashford broke a Manchester United record held by Ryan Giggs following his appearance in Manchester United’s 1-0 defeat at Everton on Saturday.
According to Opta, Rashford is the youngest Manchester United player to reach 200 appearances for Manchester United in the Premier League.
Rashford made his 200th appearance for Manchester United aged 24 years and 160 days, breaking the record previously held by Ryan Giggs (24 years 295 days).
Meanwhile, Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has admitted he’s worried about the decline of Rashford.
Speaking on BT Sport, Ferdinand said: “It has left me worried. I’m asking a lot of questions of what is going on behind the scenes, and I think that every young player does it.
“He has slumped shoulders, not looking as confident. When Marcus Rashford burst onto the scene, you thought ‘Oh my god, this kid’. It’s like Roy of the Rovers – he is going to do what he wants in the game.
“I think a lot of that [lack of confidence] stems from the uncertainty of the football club. He’s a local boy that is desperate for this football club to do well – he grew up on success. That’s all he has ever known as a kid, that’s all he has watched. To be in this situation, I know it hurts him.”
