Marcus Rashford (born 31 October 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Manchester United and the England national team.
A Manchester United player from the age of seven, he scored two goals on both his first-team debut against Midtjylland in the UEFA Europa League in February 2016 and his Premier League debut against Arsenal three days later.
He also scored in his first Manchester derby match, his first EFL Cup match and his first UEFA Champions League match. With United, Rashford has so far won the FA Cup, EFL Cup, FA Community Shield and UEFA Europa League.
England host Ukraine at Wembley on Sunday, with Euro 2024's qualifying campaign underway following Thursday's opening match against Italy.
Gareth Southgate's side have not played at Wembley since before the World Cup, with their last match in London being a 3-3 draw against Germany in September.
Now, they will face Ukraine in front of a sold out national stadium following their away trip to Naples on Thursday. Ukraine have not played since September, with their national team failing to qualify for the World Cup amid the ongoing war in the country following Russia's invasion just over a year ago.
Their last match against England came before the invasion, with a 4-0 defeat to the Three Lions in the Euro 2020 quarter finals.
