"Football is probably 95% your mentality", Rashford reveals the secret behind his fine form
Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has revealed the secrets behind his top form this season.
has scored 24 goals in 37 appearances in all competitions and is currently the top scorer of
Manchester United.
The 25-year-old Rashford, with his goal against Leicester City last Sunday, equalled Wayne Rooney's record of scoring in seven consecutive Premier League matches at Old Trafford.
In an interview with Guardian, Rashford revealed that healing from his shoulder injury is the reason behind his fine form this season.
"I don’t think anyone – apart from the people at the club – knows how long I was dealing with those [injury] issues,"
he said.
"It wasn’t just one season, it was a period of time where every day was tough and you have to sacrifice [yourself]. I’ve always been one to be out on the pitch as much as I can – that’s where I get the happiness."
Rashford also said his mental strength has helped him to rediscover his best form.
"I’m in the areas to score. It’s something I’ve been working on and in the last few years, I feel like even the seasons where I’ve done all right I could have added another 10 or 15,"
he added.
"Football is probably 95% your mentality. That gives you the baseline to perform. There are a lot of players that have ability – that’s why they play at the top level. But what sets them apart is the mentality. I’ve been on both sides of it. I understand the strength of it and the value. I’m concentrating a lot more on keeping myself in that headspace and it’s needed in order to win games and trophies.”
