Marcus Rashford

Where he can improve: Marcus Rashford was responsible for 28 per cent of the team's goals last season (108) and he practically single-handedly shouldered the burden of finding the net. His finishing has improved, but he can still get more clinical in front of goal and adding ruthlessness to his game, especially when he plays centrally, is an area where he can do better.

What is his main aim this season: Rashford enjoyed the finest season of his career and his aim is to prove that's his permanent level, not just a flash in the pan. He's equipped with the tools to be considered among the world's best attackers, but what separates the good from the elite is the ability to consistently deliver, regardless of the opponent or circumstances.
