Marcus Rashford returned to the Manchester United starting XI and ended with a convincing 5-2 win over Ipswich Town, and Harry Maguire believes the forward can still be a major asset for Michael Carrick.
Marcus Rashford started on the left at Old Trafford after spending lengthy loan spells with Aston Villa and Barcelona and there were plenty of encouraging signs during his return.
Harry Maguire was particularly impressed by what he saw.

The United defender told the Daily Mail that Rashford has been working hard since coming back into the squad.
“He’s trained really well and us as players, if Marcus wants to be here and wants to work and wants to improve and wants to help the team, of course, we’re willing to have him in the squad.”
Maguire also highlighted the threat Marcus Rashford continued to provide throughout Sunday’s game.
“He’s a great talent. You’ve seen that he’s always a threat. I think today, I think he was a constant threat constantly, and I think he could still do a lot more and I think he’ll say that he can do more.”
Maguire believes the club can get the best from him by helping him stay fit and focused.
“I think if we keep him fit, we keep him happy, he keeps driven, keeps hungry, and I think he is a great asset to have.”
Marcus Rashford has now made more than 400 appearances for Manchester United and has scored 138 goals for the club.
His future was uncertain for much of the summer after his loan at Barcelona ended without a permanent transfer, but Carrick has given him another opportunity.
