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.
Manchester United fans are delighted after Anthony Martial found the net in Saturday’s 2-0 win over Everton. The Frenchman started on the bench for a third straight game since coming back from injury but came on in the second half to score his first goal since February 1 on 71 minutes.
The striker now has 86 goals for United, surpassing David Beckham’s tally of 85. Martial played a minute more than he had done when starting against Everton in October’s 2-1 win at Goodison Park.
He trudged off the pitch with a hip injury that day but tried to make up for lost time after finding the net when Marcus Rashford took advantage of Seamus Coleman’s mis-control.
