#1 Marcus Rashford

Manchester United v Liverpool FC - Premier League

There is a spark about Marcus Rashford of late. After being installed as the preferred No. 9 in Solskjaer fluid system, the English youngster has not looked back. He has been brilliant so far for Manchester United, however, against Liverpool on Sunday, he showed incredible strength of character to stay on the pitch and fight on.

A disgraceful tackle from Henderson saw Rashford limp for the entire first half. He watched helplessly as his team mates picked up injuries that were of a more serious nature and by the end of the half, there were no more substitutes left. As such, it was clear that Rashford had to play on with injury and that was exactly what he did.

Even though he was not a 100%, the Englishman continued to strive and ran at the defense. His injury cost him that yard of pace, however, it was his indomitable spirit that came to the fore on the night.

Rashford will most certainly miss the game against Crystal Palace in midweek and his injury could even extend beyond that. His absence will deprive United of that bite in the final third. United will desperately miss his ability to create moments of magic on the pitch which have helped United win games of late . And most importantly, his absence will wreck all of Solskjaer's plans, because to his Norwegian manager, Marcus Rashford in indispensable.
