Marcus Rashford Premier League debut
Marcus Rashford became the third youngest scorer for Man Utd in the Premier League on his debut

When Arsenal were travelling to Old Trafford on February 28, 2016, they must have been very confident of beating their arch rivals. But they turned out to be a little too optimistic.

Louis van Gaal was forced to start 18-year-old Marcus Rashford among several other youngsters due to injuries to several first-team players. Rashford made his debut in Man Utd's previous game, a 5-1 win over Midtjylland in the Europa League, where he scored two goals. However, Arsenal were opponents of a different calibre.

Rashford scored the first two goals of the game in and eventual 3-2 win for the home team leaving the Gunners red-faced. He took the chances he was presented with and enjoyed a terrific end to the season which eventually earned him a call up to the England team for Euro 2016.
