- I think he has always understood his situation. Every player knows that you can't perform in this league if you don't have the right lifestyle. You won't reach a high level if you don't have a good and disciplined life outside of Carrington.

He needed some help, some support. But in the end, he has to do it himself. He has to fix his life. His attitude in training is fine, and he has to adjust his attitude in matches. When he regains his professionalism, he will be the same goal-scoring striker again.

Every player in the Premier League and at this club knows that you need to be resilient. During a football career, there are not only ups but also downs, and you have to cope with it. Rushford is experienced, he knows that. He knows how to rehabilitate and get his game back on track after a setback. He's got control of that and he's coming back. He's had a very good start to the season and now he needs to keep progressing," said Marcus Rushford.
