Footballer Marcus Rashford’s Favorite Things

After making his debut aged just 18, Marcus Rashford burst onto the Manchester United scene in a way reminiscent of Red Devils cult hero Wayne Rooney.

His countless successes on and off the pitch have captured the hearts of United fans and the general public over the years. From becoming the first to break George Best’s record for youngest ever goalscorer in 2016, to successfully lobbying the government to provide free school meals to low-income families returned during school holidays – it functions as a ‘number 10’ both from time to time. field.

After receiving an MBE from Prince William in 2020, Rashford went on to represent his country in England’s Euro 2021 squad – managed by vest prodigy Gareth Southgate. The team reached the final for the first time in 55 years.

Now, at 26 years old and with more accomplishments under his belt than most could accumulate in a lifetime, the soccer superstar has also demonstrated his love for fashion. Sporting iconic streetwear looks from Louis Vuitton and Off-White, it looks like Rashford is making a name for himself as the first truly stylish United player since David Beckham – and we’re absolutely here for it.

Curating a meticulous wardrobe is one thing, entering the world of skincare as a young footballer is another thing entirely. Once again, this is yet another area that Rashford seems to master with ease.

His recent collaboration with cult dermatologist-approved and wonderfully affordable skincare brand CeraVe shows that Rashford truly understands the power of treating your skin with love and that your products don’t need to contain actual blemishes. ‘gold to make your skin shine.

We chatted with the Golden Boy to get the lowdown on everything from fashion and football to the items he can’t live without.

THE Moisturizing facial lotion with SPF 50+ hydrates my skin while protecting it from the sun during training. No matter your age, gender or background, taking care of your skin is really important and it’s something I want to share with my platform. I joined forces with CeraVe specifically because it’s the product I use and because of its all-inclusive price, so people from all walks of life can use it too.

Certainly Nike and not just because we work together. I admire their approach to helping athletes at all stages of their careers, especially up-and-coming athletes (that’s when you need help the most). I also recently read Dog shoe and the foundations and story behind the brand blew me away.

I love Drama Call, the founder Charlie Bows is one of my closest friends and to see what he has been able to build is incredible. I also like Corteiz, Aimé Léon Doré, Stussy and Supreme. I went to Pharrell’s first Louis Vuitton Menswear show which was super inspiring and I will always have a special place in my heart for Virgil Abloh and Egg shell.

Uh, Solar creamwater, a great playlist and headphones. They help me focus and are a big part of my routine, which helps me mentally prepare for the day and whatever I need to do, including training.

Books and music can really change your outlook on everything. You can find a book on any topic or story and learn about an entire world you may never have known, or give you an idea/direction you may never have had. I really encourage everyone to try reading in some form: physically, digitally or as audiobooks – there will be a book that suits you.

The power of books is what inspired me to start my series of Children’s books and The Breakfast Club, because I want everyone to feel like they can succeed and be a part of everything.

I know we’ve all heard it before, but success doesn’t happen overnight and remember to take care of yourself and believe in yourself along the way. Never give up: this has already been said a thousand times and for good reason. No one succeeds overnight. It takes years of hard work physically, mentally and emotionally behind the scenes. And don’t forget to take care of yourself and your skin!

I make sure to make time for my friends, family, and mentors. Many of them have completely different jobs than me, so talking with them and seeing their perspectives gives me a broader perspective and helps me unplug.
