  • Head coach Hansi Flick has lauded Rashford’s adaptation and rising confidence following recent standout performances, including a Champions League brace at Newcastle.
  • Sporting director Deco says it is too early to decide on a permanent deal, with Rashford on a season-long loan from Manchester United that includes an option to buy.
