United star Rashford reveals surprising childhood idol

These days Rashfrd is known for his goalscoring, but that hasn't always been the case.

Back in his formative years, the England man was actually a goalkeeper, who idolised former Manchester United man Tim Howard.

In fact, Rashford believes that the feeling of being a striker and a goalkeeper isn't so different.

"My first season, I went in net," he explained.

"The thrill of scoring a goal, you get that same thrill when you save a good chance.

"Tim Howard was my idol. I used to have a little Tim Howard shirt."

Howard spent four years with United between 2003-2007 and Rashford is still hoping to get a chance to imitate his idol one day by donning the gloves for the 'Red Devils'

He said: "You watch, there'll be a game... I'm going to get the gloves one day!" he added.
