Rashford said, “Left-wing,” when asked what position he liked best. “Even though I believe that a centre forward needs to cover less ground to score easy goals, I definitely favor left.

“Left is simpler to stay in the game, and I’ve always wanted to play the game since I was small. I sometimes have trouble playing center forward because of my patience.

“After 20 minutes without touching the ball, your first touch could present a scoring opportunity. You need to be mentally alert. I never liked that part of it, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve started to like playing up there a little bit more.
