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 could be without Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial for this weekend's derby at City. Rashford and Martial did not participate in training sessions earlier this week and Martial has played only 45 minutes in two months due to hamstring and Achilles injuries.
The Frenchman has not participated in a full training session since August 25. Rashford suffered a muscular injury in the 3-1 win over Arsenal on September 4 and has not trained in three weeks.
