England ace follows Cristiano Ronaldo's lead by buying a cryotherapy chamber for his own home
MANCHESTER United ace Marcus Rashford is chilling out ahead of the new season - after installing a £50,000 ice chamber in his home.
The star striker has bought his own Cryotherapy chamber to help him recover after training and matches.
It in the gym at his £1.85 million six-bedroom mansion he has just moved into after overseeing its development.
The sprawling property in Bowdon, Cheshire, also features an open plan kitchen, four reception rooms, and a double garage which houses his gym.
A source said: “Marcus is a top athlete and is deadly serious about his football career.
He’s leaving nothing to chance and wants to start this season firing on all cylinders.
“He has a gym at home and is very interested in how he can best look after himself off the pitch.
“It’s a lot of money to spend, but if it gives him that extra one per cent in his career he thinks it’ll be worth it.”

Cryotherapy works by exposing the body to extreme temperatures as low as -160C to provoke a process of muscle regeneration and immune-system stimulation.
The treatment also allows players to train with greater intensity, reduce muscle soreness, aid sleep and provide an exhilarating post-chamber sensation.
Chambers are generally around the size of a shower cubicle and use liquid nitrogen canisters.
Marcus, who scored twice in United’s first friendly of the season against LA Galaxy, is not the first athlete to have a chamber at home.
Ex-United star Ronaldo has one at his villa in Madrid while his teammate Gareth Bale is also a fan of the hi-tech modern ice baths.
