Marcus Rashford has named the Manchester United summer signing that has left him ‘super excited’.

The Red Devils brought in a handful of new players ahead of the 2023-24 campaign with Erik ten Hag looking to build on last term’s third-place Premier League finish, in a season which also saw United win their first trophy since 2017.

Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount and Andre Onana were United’s three main signings while Sofyan Amrabat and Sergio Reguilon came in on loan and United also decided to bring back free agent Jonny Evans and sign a back-up goalkeeper.

Rashford has been particularly impressed by Denmark international forward Hojlund and is looking forward to developing a partnership with his team-mate.

‘I am honestly super excited about it,’ Rashford told Premier League Productions.

‘At times last year, we were going on counter-attacks and we would just see shirts of other bodies, and usually, the only the cut-back that was on was to Bruno [Fernandes] who was arriving later.

‘Whereas this year, you have to understand the dynamics have changed, so we have spoken to each other and done a little bit of work off the pitch, probably that the coaching staff don’t even know, between [just] me and him.

‘I just want to understand his game and for him to understand my game as quickly as possible. So far it has been good and we obviously had the unlucky one at Brighton that got disallowed, but then in the following game we’ve got one where we have combined for a goal, so I am very happy for him.

‘I’m sure it is a relationship that will help both players, so I am excited for it, excited for the future and I am also so excited that we have so many games coming up because we have so many opportunities to show who we are.

‘He is a big, strong, physical lad, he has good finishing abilities. So when the chances do come to him, he will score goals.’
