Marcus Rashford (born 31 October 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Manchester United.

Club career

Manchester United

Born in Wythenshawe, Manchester, Rashford began playing football for Fletcher Moss Rangers at the age of five and joined the academy system at Manchester United at the age of seven.[4][5]

2015–16 season

Rashford was named on the first-team bench for the first time on 21 November 2015 for a Premier League game against Watford, which Manchester United won 2–1.[6] On 25 February 2016, Rashford was a late addition to the Manchester United starting line-up for their UEFA Europa League round of 32, second leg tie against Midtjylland after Anthony Martial was injured in the warm-up; Rashford marked his first-team debut with two goals in the second half of a 5–1 win.[7] Rashford's goals made him Manchester United's youngest ever scorer in European competition, beating a record previously held by George Best.[8][9] Rashford made his Premier League debut against Arsenal three days later; he again scored twice and provided the assist for another in a 3–2 home victory, making him the third youngest scorer for United in Premier League history after Federico Macheda and Danny Welbeck.[10]

These two impactful performances so early in Rashford's career led to calls for him to represent England at UEFA Euro 2016. Manchester United academy coach Nicky Butt dismissed these calls, calling them premature and possibly harmful for the player's development.[11]
