Despite not scoring so far this season, the Manchester United forward has been hard at work in the gym and on the training field during the summer and international break. At 26, Rashford is focusing on a new training regimen to rediscover his scoring form.
On Instagram, where he has 17 million followers, Rashford posted a video showcasing his intense workout. Captioned “Mix it up,” the clip shows him stepping away from football to demonstrate his boxing skills with a pair of gloves.
In the video, Rashford, dressed in his club’s training kit, is seen in the ring with white boxing gloves, working with punching pads and a punching bag. He also performs drills involving stepping in and out of a hoop and jumping side to side over a beam.
Rashford further shared his training routine in an Instagram story, featuring him shirtless as he tenses his abs while taking punches to the stomach and having a medicine ball bounced on him. Other exercises in the video include lifting his legs while holding onto a trainer’s heels and getting jabbed in the stomach, along with arm curls, battle ropes, and weight pushing. By the end of the session, Rashford is visibly out of breath, leaning with his arms on his knees.
Fans reacted to the video with enthusiasm, with one commenting, “Scary hours, but not for us,” while another said, “He’s about to be a nightmare for all the opposing players.” A third fan anticipated, “You are gonna have another great season,” and another remarked, “Almost time to show the world again.” A fifth added, “Marcus on the beat.”
Rashford will be looking to get back on the scoreboard when Manchester United face Southampton this weekend. Although he hasn’t scored or assisted yet, he leads his team with three big chances created.
