Marcus Rashford must implement secret Michael Owen trick to turn Man United fortunes around

Michael Owen has shared some words of wisdom for Marcus Rashford, encouraging him to "start loving yourself more" to regain his top form.

Despite having had an impressive run with Manchester United during the 2022/23 season where he scored an impressive 30 goals in all competitions, Rashford, 26, has yet to hit those heights since then.

Out of the three goals in eight games he has scored so far this season, two were bagged in Manchester United's 7-0 EFL Cup win against Barnsley. He's achieved only one goal in his past 11 league appearances, with the sole strike coming against Southampton earlier this month.

"There are so many little wins in life that you can use to make yourself feel better about yourself, to make your team-mates love you even more, to make your fans love you and there are little wins that are so easy to do," said the former striking sensation for both club and country.

"If I was not in a massively confident mood, I would close people down, I would sprint and try to block clearances, and I would work as hard as I could because one in 10 you might get a block when someone's trying to knock the ball down the line and the ball goes out for a throw-in," reports Mirror Football.

"In many respects, it's not going to win you the game, but there'll be a couple of thousand people that get off the seat and clap you and chant your name. You will feel better
