Last January Marcus Rashford was still an obscure unknown teenager. Then came the month that changed his life- February 2016, when he scored twice in both his Manchester United first-team debut (Europa League) and in his first Premier League game in (against Arsenal).
Rashford followed that up by also scoring in his first Manchester derby game, and his first League Cup game.
Marcus Rashford scored on his England debut in May 2016, becoming the youngest English player to score in his first senior international game.
Wayne Rooney backs Marcus Rashford to become a future superstar.
“I think Marcus is doing fantastic,” Rooney said during an England press opportunity on international break. “He is probably one of the most exciting players in world football, young players, at the minute.
“I am sure if he keeps working hard and developing he’ll be a superstar in years to come.”
“It’s important with exciting young players that they get the rewards they deserve and I think he deserves it,” Rooney said of Rashford’s return to the Three Lions senior squad.
“He’s been fantastic since he got into the Manchester United squad and he’s carried that on again this season so he fully deserves his chance to be in the squad and to play.
“And I’m sure if he does that he will take his opportunity.”
