Marcus Rashford is having a fantastic season for Manchester United right now.

Rashford has 18 goals and 8 assists this season, including the game-winning goal against Manchester City in United's stunning derby victory, making him one of England's most in-form players.

After admitting to struggling with his mental health during the previous season, the 25-year-old has returned to his best under Erik ten Hag.

He has also been displaying a new celebration, but many are unsure of its significance.

Rashford stands still after scoring and points to his temple with his index finger, sometimes with his eyes closed.

The celebration implies that he is alluding to his recent mental health issues and how focusing on them has become a priority.

The United forward revealed in October that he struggled last season.

"There's a completely different energy around the club and the training ground," he said.

"That puts me in a better headspace, and I just feel really motivated now." That's where I was having trouble.

"I was struggling at times with more mental things." It wasn't so much my own performance as it was other factors off the field. That is the most notable difference from last season.

"Last season, I wasn't always in the right frame of mind for games." "I wasn't surprised by some of what was going on."

As a result, the celebration is likely to demonstrate that his mental state is much better now, which has been the key to his success in recent weeks.

It has been suggested that the new goal celebration, coupled with his recent excellent form, indicates that he is in a much better mental state than he was last season.

Rashford appears to have begun celebrating in this manner since the New Year's Eve match, when Manchester United defeated Wolves thanks to an excellent goal by the star forward.

Rashford has been on fire since then.
