Champions League 2018/19 Round of 16: 5 young forwards to watch out for

#2 Marcus Rashford - 21 years (Manchester United)

Leicester City v Manchester United - Premier League

Rashford announced himself to the world when he made a goalscoring debut with his brace as a 17-year-old in United's Europa League knockout fixture with Midtjylland. He also went on to score a brace in his Premier League, League Cup, Champions League, International (youngest player to do so) and Manchester derby debuts.

Rashford was undoubtedly destined to get to the top, but suffered a series of setbacks in the form of the negative football and constant criticisms he received from now-departed manager Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.

Rashford suffered dips in form and saw himself overtaken by his contemporaries such as Kylian Mbappe (who he incidentally faces), Ousmane Dembele, and Gabriel Jesus among others.

However, the England international has now gotten his mojo back since the appointment of Solskjaer as caretaker manager at Old Trafford, scoring seven goals in his last ten appearances and his form was rewarded with him being named the EPL Player of the Month for January.

Coming up against PSG, Rashford has a chance to take himself to new heights by performing well against one of the pre-tournament favorites and such has been the change in fortunes of both clubs that PSG are very much entering the contest as underdogs which is testament to the improvement at United in the last two months of which Rashford has been a major progenitor.
