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.
Erik ten Hag believes the criticism Marcus Rashford has faced over the last two weeks has been too strong and backed the academy graduate to go on a scoring spree after netting his first of the season.
Rashford got off the mark for the campaign in Manchester United's 3-0 win at Southampton, ending a goal drought stretching back to mid-March and the 4-3 win against Liverpool in the FA Cup.
The 26-year-old had faced criticism for his performance in the Premier League reverse to Liverpool two weeks ago but he responded by scoring from 20 yards at St Mary's and looked a threat after finding the back of the net.

"He created two great chances in that game [the defeat to Liverpool], in other games this season he has played very well.
He deserved that goal but you had to work for it. That is what he is doing and then you get a reward. He scored a great goal." United's away-dayers got behind Rashford after he scored late in the first half, breaking into a sustained rendition of their 'Rashford is red' chant.
