While Rashford was filming The Shop in the United States of America (USA) he also attended the movie Premiere of Rise for NBA superstar Giannis Antetokoumpo.

Rashford explained his rise at Premier League giants Manchester United from an academy player to a member of the first team.

He said, “Since six years old. Yeah. Like, I was a United fan before I started playing for United, so I remember when I was about seven or eight, they started taking us to every home game.

“So you can imagine, from that age till 18, till I made my debut, like, I was at every single home game. It’s one thing to grow up seeing a club like Manchester United from the outside.

Rashford explained the difficulties Manchester United have been facing ever since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club.

He added, “So success was like when you get it once you get a taste for it, and you learn how to make it, like, more of a sure thing.

“Whereas now, like, since I’ve come into the team, it’s been a transition period for the club. So, like, finding stability’s been difficult. That’s why we have so many ups and downs,

but at the same time, it’s a club that is rich in history.

“I think it’s a bit of everything, to be honest, you know. Most people say once Sir Alex left. Yeah, a lot changed.

Speaking about rivalry, Rashford explained why he doesn’t like Premier League rivals Liverpool.

He said, “No. I don’t like Liverpool. Obviously, Liverpool has history, so it’s more–it’s a bit more bitter, but with City, it’s like, you don’t like ’em, but you don’t really have, like, a massive reason not to like ’em.

“You just grow up, and it’s just two Manchester sides. One wears light blue. One wears red. But the rivalry with Liverpool is just. It’s deep.”
