Age: 18

Country: England

Club: Manchester United

On February 25, 2016, a relatively unknown striker named Marcus Rashford started for Manchester United in a Europa League game against Midtjylland after Anthony Martial was injured during warm-up. The teenager scored a brace in the game to help United to a 5-1 win. Fast forward to the present day and the teenager is representing England at Euro 2016 and is also the youngest player in the tournament.

Following Rashford’s brace against Midtjylland, he was given his Premier League debut as a starter against Arsenal and he scored another brace and provided an assist to help United register a 3-2 win. However, his biggest moment in the limelight came in the local derby against Manchester City as he scored the only goal of the game.

His brilliant form in the last three months of the season saw him make the England squad for Euros and he celebrated his debut by scoring the opening goal against Australia in a friendly after just three minutes.
