  • Marcus Rashford joined the popular video sharing platform Tiktok on Friday, February 17
  • His first video garnered more than half a million likes in a matter of hours
  • Rashford is currently the most in-form player across Europe and no one has scored more goals than him since the World Cup

Manchester United ace Marcus Rashford has become the latest football star to join Tiktok with instant success on the app.

Rashford has the world under his feet at the moment as he is currently enjoying what is his most prolific goal-scoring season as a footballer.

On average, he has managed a goal every 123 minutes with his 15 strikes in 25 games, making him a force to reckon with under Erik Ten Hag.

Notably, his performances have improved tremendously since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, who has since joined Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia.

Away from football, Rashford is building his social media presence, and his latest move has been joining Tiktok, which is fast growing in popularity among sportsmen and women.

The 25-year old shared a video of himself juggling the ball on Twitter along with the caption and in the 18-second clip, he revealed he had downloaded the app and asked fans to “wish him luck”.

Barely hours after he unveiled himself on the app and Rashford had already garnered well over 600,000 followers, and the numbers promise to grow by the day.

Rashford’s next game

As Manchester United prepare to take on Leicester City on Sunday, February 19, Rashford will surely be crucial for his team once again as they try to make some ground on league leaders Manchester City.

In terms of the Golden Boot race, Manchester City ace Erling Haaland is miles ahead of his competition with 26 goals, but Rashford’s 12 league goals are impressive by his own standards as he sits fourth in the race, behind Harry Kane and Ivan Toney.
