Man U star, Marcus Rashford has traced the bond between him and the club to beyond the field.
According to him, the club’s influence on him is so deep that he cannot contemplate playing for any other team.
At the British Sports Award on Thursday, he said since he was a child, Man U had been providing for him what his family could not afford – like a home and being carried in a car.
“All the good things that have happened this year have come from Manchester United giving me an opportunity as a kid. I don’t just remember the last year or the last five years.
“I’m talking about when nobody in my family drove and I had to get to training and United had people to come and take me to the training ground and take me back home when I was six, seven, eight, nine.
“The times they put me into accommodation when my mum was struggling at home, when I was 11 and I was there up until 16/17.
“It is a lot deeper than what people see sometimes. I think people see some of the stuff that has been happening since I’ve been in the first team but the bond that I have with United is much greater than these last five years and it will forever be greater than probably my actual career because they are the reason I have become a footballer, they have given me the opportunity to express myself and to find out I had talent in football.”
While Rashford joined the team when he was much younger, he began to play for them in 2016.
He insisted: “For me, I never look beyond Manchester United.
“As a kid I never looked beyond Manchester United. In my mind it wouldn’t sit right for me to be pulling on another shirt. I just want to do my best for the club while I’m here. Long term hopefully.”
