Default Marcus Rashford



Marcus Rashford
Birthdate : 31 Oct 1997
Birthplace : Manchester
Position : Striker
Joined United : 01 Jul 2014

An exciting prospect with fine balance and a powerful shot, the teenager has made impressive progress through the ranks and has been involved in the first-team squad in 2015.

A shock inclusion as a lone striker in the FA Youth Cup tie at Leicester City in 2013/14 saw him perform on the big stage and he did not let anybody down in an unfamiliar position. Perhaps more comfortable operating in the hole between midfield and attack, the Manchester-born starlet managed to hold down a pretty regular place towards the end of that campaign.

Four goals in 10 starts, including some real crackers, impressed all Academy observers and there was a feeling he was ahead of schedule.

After helping United retain the Milk Cup in 2014, he became the main man in attack when Demetri Mitchell was sidelined through injury. Learning all the time in a centre-forward role, he regularly showed glimpses of his star quality and finished as top scorer with 13 goals from 25 (2) appearances - a healthy return. His magnificent free-kick in the FA Youth Cup defeat at Tottenham illustrated his prowess from set-pieces.

"One we saw starting to emerge as he grew into his body more was Marcus Rashford," stated Paul McGuinness. "He put some exciting parts of games together and we saw some exciting things. He's emerging and starting to do more."

By continuing to score regularly for the Under-18s, he earned a natural elevation to Warren Joyce's Under-21s, after making his bow for the Reserves as a substitute during a Lancashire Senior Cup win against Rochdale.

He led from the front in the UEFA Youth League after being handed the captain's armband by Nicky Butt for the European adventure. A maiden strike at Under-21 level came in the 6-1 thumping of Leicester City in mid-December and he will be a key figure in the FA Youth Cup campaign.
