One of England's most gifted youngsters right now, Manchester United's Marcus Rashford is being classed as one of the favourites for the prestigious Best Young Player award and it's not hard to understand why.

20-year-old Rashford has been a real sensation since bursting onto the scene a couple of years ago. Since then, he's gone on to establish himself as a first-team regular with United, scoring 17 league goals in 78 games, as well as earning a spot in England's Euro 2016 campaign and the 2018 World Cup squad.

A confident forward who enjoys dribbling his way around defenders and cutting inside to take a shot, Rashford has a whole lot of talent. He also seems to have a real thing for debuts, having scored on his Europa League, Premier League, League Cup, Champions League, and England debuts! Three Lions fans will be hoping he can keep that trend going by scoring in his first ever World Cup appearance as well.
