Manchester United star Marcus Rashford posted an end-of-school throwback picture with three mates who all went on to become fellow professional footballers – but can you guess who they are?
Rashford looks a little more fresh-faced in his school uniform, but is easily recognisable in the picture, which would’ve been taken around seven years ago.
His other three friends, who all started their careers at United’s academy, are however much trickier to identify.
A young Marcus Rashford (front) is pictured here with three pals who all also became professional footballers – but can you guess who they are?
Rashford, who is not the only player from the picture to still play for United, attended the Ashton on Mersey school as a teenager and was still studying there after he had broke into the first team.
The school’s headteacher at the time, Aidan Moloney, remembers seeing Rashford playing pool in the sixth-room common room before going off to his lessons just a day after he had scored a brace against Arsenal back in 2016.
Ashton on Mersey has provided education for United trainees since 1998 and it’s graduates include the likes of Darren Fletcher, Jonny Evans, Paul Pogba, Giuseppe Rossi and Gerard Pique.
In Rashford’s year at school was also Timothy Fosu-Mensah, who recently left United to join Bayer Leverkusen, but he is not in this picture with the England forward.

Another centre-back is though as the youngster pictured on the right and Rashford’s left is his current United team-mate Axel Tuanzebe, who has recently become more of a regular starter under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Directly behind Rashford is Jimmy Dunne, who currently plays for Burnley after leaving United in 2016 – and has spent loan spells at Accrington Stanley, Hearts, Sunderland and Fleetwood Town.
The other teenager in the picture to have made it professional is Tosin Kehinde.
Kehinde had been at United since 2011 and despite being offered a contract in 2018 to extend his stay, decided to turn it down in favour of signing for Portuguese club Feirense.
He spent two years in Portugal before departing and currently plies his trade at Danish Superliga side Randers FC.
