Marcus Rashford is already an English superstar who has come through the ranks of the Manchester United academy. The tale of how he broke into Louis Van Gaal's first team is truly remarkable. After Anthony Martial picked up an injury during an away trip to Midtjylland in the Europa league, Rashford was called upon by manager Van Gaal to take his place. Ever since that appearance, he has surely cemented his place on the left wing for Manchester United with his exceptional performances.

Rashford, at 23, has over 271 appearances for Manchester United under his belt. Alongside them are a massive 88 goals that he has scored for the club.
