Manchester United ace Marcus Rashford revealed he had thought about a career in accountancy if football didn't work out for him.

The 18-year-old striker, who has been in phenomenal form ever since former boss Louis van Gaal drafted him into the playing XI, insists he had a back-up option in mind.

"When I was in school, I was quite good at maths, so anything like an accountant," he told the Manchester Evening News.

Earlier, Rashford had to force his way back into the starting line-up for United after a short spell on the bench, but since then he has continued to impress.
