RASHFORD: RED DEVILS BUZZING UNDER TEN HAG

MARCUS Rashford feels refreshed following his summer break and believes there is already a “buzz” under new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.

The Red Devils finished with their lowest points tally of the Premier League era last season, Rashford often singled out for criticism as he scored just five times - his worst return in a single campaign.

His loss of form led to him losing his place in England squads.

However, after admitting he needed to “switch off” a couple of months ago he is now energised and believes the rest of his colleagues are as well.

He said: “We have that feeling of excitement and that buzz around the training ground again and so it is definitely positive going into pre-season.

“I feel like I probably needed that time to switch off a little bit and me having that time enabled me to refocus a lot earlier than I expected to be honest.

“I feel ready and focused so when that first game does come it’s good to know you have done almost six weeks of training beforehand.

■ NOTTINGHAM Forest have made French defender Giulian Biancone their third signing of the summer following promotion to the Premier League.

The 22-year-old arrives at the City Ground from Ligue 1 side Troyes on a three-year deal to join on-loan Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson and Nigerian forward Taiwo Awoniyi as new recruits for Forest boss Steve Cooper.

Biancone, who has represented France Under-19s, said: “I am very happy to arrive at a club like Nottingham Forest. I know it’s a big club.”
