Rash is on ball at sums

MANCHESTER United star Marcus Rashford seriously considered a career as an accountant before being snapped up by the Premier League side.

He dreamt of a future crammed with tax returns and calculators when he was still at school.

He even took extra maths lessons.

The 18-year-old rising star, already capped by England, told of his secret passion for figures.

He said: “When I was in school, I was good at maths. If I hadn’t been a footballer, I would have been an accountant.

“It was a bit of a dream of mine.”
