Marcus Rashford has enjoyed a "priceless" pre-season and is harnessing the pain of the previous year as the refreshed Manchester United forward attempts to get back to his best.
Last July's heart-breaking penalty shoot-out miss in England's European Championship final defeat to Italy was followed by the 24-year-old's most challenging campaign to date.
Post-tournament shoulder surgery meant Rashford did not feature for United until mid-October, when an initial flurry of goals quickly dried up.
The forward's poor performances saw him dropped by England and widely criticised, but he hopes to have turned a corner after a full pre-season under demanding new boss Erik ten Hag.
