"I feel much better," Rashford told the journalist.

"Definitely, comparing it to two or three weeks ago, I feel 10 times better.

"For me now, it is just about getting ready to build it back up to training and playing the games with the team. I am in a much better place. I am much happier now than I was about a month ago, so things are looking positive."

Rashford has been using a stationary bike at his Bowden home to stay fit during the shutdown, as well as his personal gym.

"Everyone's just dealing with the circumstances as well as they can," he said.

"I have just been in my house, doing my recovery work, reading books, watching Netflix and just whatever you can do to make the time pass."
