People seem to forget that Marcus Rashford is still only 22 years, such has been the impact of the youngster since emerging on the scene under Louis van Gaal. The Englishman is in his 5th season for United and after just 21 games in all competitions, has already equaled his previous best goal-scoring return in a Manchester United shirt. Solskjaer's arrival at Old Trafford had injected a new life into a player who appeared lost in the later stages under Mourinho. If Rashford looked rejuvenated in the second half of last season, he has transformed into a menace for the opposition in the final third this term.

The Englishman's speed and power down the left have proven to be a handful for most defenses this season. When Rashford gets the ball near the box right now, there's a sense of excitement around the stands. The Englishman's ability to churn out unbelievable stunts on the pitch has kept fans the world around captivated. He has a shot like a lightning bolt, and his turn of pace is outstanding on the counter. Manchester City and Tottenham were his most recent victims, but in truth, the Englishman has performed brilliantly this season against the top 6.

Rashford has already scored 10 goals from 16 games in the Premier League so far and is currently third in the race to the golden boot. The Englishman has taken charge of the United attack and has transformed his team's recent fortunes.
