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.
Marcus Rashford said it was "nonsense" to claim Manchester United players gave up during the record-equalling defeat by Liverpool at Anfield, but admitted they suffered from a lack of organisation in the second half.
The in-form forward said that stemmed from a desperate desire to get back into the game which left too many spaces for Jurgen Klopp's side to exploit.
Liverpool led 1-0 at half-time but scored six times after the break to inflict a stunning defeat on Erik ten Hag's team. Some United players appeared to let their heads drop as the goals flew in and there has been criticism that they appeared to give up as the damage got worse.
