If it was up to Marcus Rashford, he would not have been wearing white and turquoise boots in recent games for Manchester United.

The 19-year-old prefers the much more low key look of black boots, something which was certainly noticeable in the early days of his breakthrough into the Man Utd first team.

Obligations to sponsors means the young striker has begrudgingly had to sport some more ostentatious footwear than he would like.

In an interview with The Telegraph's James Ducker, Rashford explained why he prefers black boots to to more flashy options thrust upon him.

It stems from his time in the Man Utd academy where black boots were mandatory.

Growing up here at United there was a black-boot-only policy, I think it might have only just gone, but from being a kid here at nine years old there has always been that.

At the start you don’t really buy into it, but by the end you learn to love it as well. I will probably always wear them. Nowadays with sponsorships it is a case of, ‘There is the boot, you wear it’ and there is not much you can do about it. However, if it was my choice, it would always be black.
