#2 Marcus Rashford

Manchester United v Liverpool - Premier League
Rashford had an impressive debut season for United

In the last couple of years, Rashford has been the poster boy of United's efficient youth system. Rashford had a knack of scoring debut goals.

He scored on his United debut in the Europa League, Premier League, UEFA Champions League, EFL Cup, England U-21 debut and England senior debut. His first appearance for United came as result of Martial's misfortune in the Europa League.

On February 25, 2016, Martial got injured in the warm-up of United's round of 32, second leg against FC Midttjylland. In the first leg, United lost 2-1 and was on the verge of an embarrassing elimination.

The teenager scored twice as United won 5-1 to advance. Barely three days later, he scored on his Premier League debut, this time a famous brace against Arsenal in United's 3-2 win at Old Trafford. In his first season, he finished with an impressive eight goals in 18 matches to become a crowd favorite.
