Marcus Rashford joined the Manchester United youth ranks in 2005 aged just seven and progressed through the ranks before grabbing headlines with his incredible debut in which he scored two goals for the Red Devils in the Europa League.

The 21-year-old also had goalscoring bows in the Premier League, League Cup, Manchester derby, UEFA Champions League and international debut.

Rashford is a player of undoubted class but had seen his progress stall over the years, particularly under the management of Jose Mourinho, as the Portuguese manager did not trust Rashford enough and publicly criticized him on numerous occasions.

The appointment of Solskjaer has however seen an upturn in Rashford's fortune, as the Norwegian showed enough confidence in Rashford's ability to make him the focal point of his attack and the England international has flourished in his new role.

In total, he has scored 10 goals and created six assists from 27 Premier League matches this season of which seven have come since Solskjaer took over, while also showing great composure to slot home the injury time winning penalty in very tense conditions against PSG and the Barcelona defense would do well to watch him.
