Position: Forward

Most players dream of scoring on their debut. Manchester United's Marcus Rashford has scored on a number of debuts; Premier League debut, Europa League debut, FA Cup debut, League Cup debut, England U-21 debut, England debut and his Champions League debut!

The big occasion never seemed to bother him. And it is no wonder that even club legends are singing his praises.

"You look at Cristiano Ronaldo's record and players like Neymar, he has that kind of ability. It is a lot to live up to, but he has that in him. He can be a world star." - Paul Scholes

With the ability to play out wide or as a centre-forward, he gave Louis van Gaal and now Jose Mourinho a lot of options. His blistering pace and finishing ability are his biggest assets at the moment and he will be the next big thing for England as well.

When Harry Kane struggled at Euro 2016, the Three Lions looked a better side when Rashford (the youngest player and only teenager in the squad) was on the pitch.
