Rashford, 25, is ready to take the new season by storm after starring for Manchester United last term.

The England star scored 30 goals in all competitions under Erik ten Hag, shattering his previous career-best record by eight strikes.

Rashford has since penned a lucrative long-term deal committing him to Old Trafford for at least five more years.

But like all things in life, his time leading United’s line will not last forever.

Despite having his best years ahead of him, Rashford reckons he’ll call it a day when he gets into his late 30s.

That means United fans could still have another decade of their academy ace firing them to glory.

And Rashford does not intend to walk away from the beautiful game once he’s done playing either.

Indeed, he plans on following in the footsteps of numerous Red Devils by taking up a post-action career in coaching.

Rashford told The Overlap, in partnership with Sky Bet: “I definitely have options [after I retire] but I’ve still got years left and hopefully I can play until I’m 36, 37.

“I won’t do coaching straight away, people don’t understand how mentally challenging football is, the concentration you have to put in day to day can be draining so when I do retire, I want to go away for a little bit.

“Coaching is an option because my love for the game is never going to go away.

“I don’t want to plan it all out, I just want to have the options and when the time comes, see how it all plays out.”
