Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has taken up a new sport as he looks to impress new head coach Ruben Amorim.

Amorim will take charge of his first game as United boss on Sunday when his side face Ipswich away.

Rashford will be determined to build greater consistency under Amorim after scoring a single point in eleven Premier League games so far this season.

The 27-year-old will be eager to recapture the form that saw him score 30 goals in all competitions during the 2022-23 campaign.

If he can impress enough, Rashford could force his way back into the England squad after not being selected for Euro 2024 and subsequent matches.

Rashford used his time during the recent international break to work on another sport.
