Although Marcus Rashford is still a teenager, he has already seen his fair share of ups and downs in his career. After a dream start, his alarming dip last season was seen as a sign of things to come by some. But his performances so far this season have served as a reminder of just how talented the 19-year-old striker truly is.

Playing down the left flank, Rashford showcased incredible skill, speed, and composure and had the beating of both the defender and anyone else who came across as cover on the left flank. The ease with which he dropped his shoulder and left the defender for dead in the build-up to the first goal just highlighted the confidence that he has.

A constant threat with the pace and the ability to run behind the defence, Rashford was a thorn that kept poking away at the Palace defence. He registered two assists for the first time in a match for United and will be hoping to carry forward his good form and prove Jermaine Defoe (who earlier said that he could be as good as Aguero) right.
