Marcus Rashford is on fire right now. The young Manchester United striker is a top trending term on social media right now after scoring what is most likely the goal of the weekend at home versus Brighton & Hove Albion.
Watch below as Rashford dribbles past a Brighton defender and guides the ball into the top corner from a tight angle to make it 2-0, doubling the Red Devils lead before halftime. The scoring strike gave the English international four in his last four games, and five in the six league games since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took charge.

The goal would hold up as the game winner, with Pascal Groß getting one back for the visitors in the 72′. United midfielder Paul Pogba opened the scoring in this contest by drawing a foul in the box, then converting from the penalty spot to make it 1-0 in the 27′.
Rashford is now living up to his sky high potential and showing the football world why Solskjaer believes he could someday be as stellar and productive as Harry Kane. United have now won all seven matches across all competitions since Solskjaer took over for Jose Mourinho.
