MARCUS Rashford is being jokingly teased by his Manchester United team-mates after forking out for expensive dental care.
The United youngster, 18, shelled-out on braces and treatment on his teeth in the last couple of months.
He had the 'invisible' brace fitted after boss Jose Mourinho had a dentist check over his squad in the summer.
A United source said: "He has paid out a fair bit as the treatment he has gotten doesn't come cheap.
"The other lads have been ribbing him about it, but it just goes to show and is a reminder how young he is.
"He can obviously afford to have the braces to straighten his teeth after getting a pay-rise."
Mourinho had a dental hygienist come in to United's Carrington training complex in July to look over his stars.
He did the same every summer when he was chief at Chelsea.

The Portuguese supremo had the check-ups as it is thought to be an indicator of wider health and injury problems.
A report last November found more than three quarters of professional footballers have gum disease while 40 per cent had dental cavities.
The study found sugar and poor food was causing tooth decay which affected players’ performances and well-being.
Rashford was recalled to the senior England squad this week by new boss Gareth Southgate.
The striker has already scored once for the Three Lions during a friendly against Australia before Euro 2016.
