🔁 Why Rangers? Why Now?
The move has caught fans and pundits alike by surprise, but sources close to the player suggest that Rashford was eager for consistent game time and the chance to “rediscover his spark” under a new system.
Enter Russell Martin, the Rangers manager, who reportedly played a pivotal role in convincing Rashford to make the move north.

🧠 Martin’s Tactical Revolution 🏓
Rangers have undergone a tactical evolution under Russell Martin, known for his progressive style borrowed from his time at Swansea and Southampton.
Martin’s system emphasizes:
Quick vertical transitions
High defensive line

Rashford, with his elite athleticism and versatility, is seen as the ideal player to lead the line or drift wide in Martin’s fluid front three.
