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.
Micah Richards has questioned whether Wout Weghorst has the ability to help Manchester United sustain a title attempt given the quality centre-forward options at rivals Manchester City and Arsenal.
United’s 2-0 win at Leeds on Sunday means they sit third on 46 points having played a game more than City, who are on 48 points, and two more than Arsenal, who sit on 51 points.
The top two meet for the first time in the Premier League on Wednesday in what is due to be a seismic game in the season. A City win would see them leapfrog Arsenal into first on goal difference having played a game more.
It would keep United just five points off top spot if they do.
