#2 Only United player to ever score on his debut in 3 different competitions
If stage fright could ever be a factor on the professional stage, Marcus Rashford surely does not have any clue about it. For starters, the youngster scored a brace to guide Manchester United past Danish minnows Midtjylland and save Louis van Gaal’s blushes on his Europa League debut.
It did not stop there. United’s frighteningly wafer-thin squad was put to one of the sternest tests of the season at Old Trafford against an Arsenal side that had soundly beaten them 3-0 in the reverse fixture. Rashford popped up twice in the first half, at the right place and the right time, to score what proved to be the winning goals for United.
Rashford made his debut in the English League cup against Northampton Town on September 21st this year, and his goal in that game gave him the distinction of becoming the only Manchester United player ever to score on his debut in 3 different competitions. Incidentally, the forward has also scored on his England U21 and Manchester United youth team debuts.
