Marcus Rashford will play a key role next season

With United aiming to bridge the gap with Manchester City, the Red Devils would need to take the help of the player more regularly. The player had a fantastic 2022-23 session and will try to replicate his role in this upcoming campaign. United have also reportedly been linked with a move for Atalanta forward Rasmus Hojlund and should he arrive, it would allow Rashford to operate more freely on the left flank.
