Marcus Rashford will never forget his first Manchester United match. In fact, it was the first professional match he ever watched live in a stadium.
Real Madrid were in town for the Champions League quarter-final encounter, and El Fenomeno had perhaps his most famous night in club football.
Ronaldo netted a hat-trick so good that he was given a standing ovation from the Old Trafford crowd, and a performance so mesmerising Rashford didn't even mind that his boyhood club had just been dumped out of Europe.
"It was in 2003. He scored a hat-trick. I was only young though. I was five," Rashford said of that night. "He was my brother's favourite player, that's why I've grown up watching so much of him and his games.
“He always played free. No matter where he was playing, he played free and went out there and expressed himself. When you do that, that's when you play your best football.”
A matter of years on and Rashford has finally managed to harness that same freedom to deliver his most exciting season so far in senior football.
The current landscape of football is filled with uncertainty as the sport looms in purgatory, dreams are waiting to be fulfilled and nightmares yet to be confirmed. Rashford is one such player feeling a range of emotions.

Learn to think for yourself stupid. That boy has achieved better stats at this stage amd age than CR7 and Rooney. It's the team around him that needs to get better... he would not have injuries like that if he doesnt have to fight for the ball all the time. He is a brilliant young talent.
ask your mom i did her in the bedroom you should call me the smart daddy from now on

Anytime you want to talk about something like this,you should check some other stats.Look at the players Rooney played with.he had alot of experience players to guide him unlike Rashford.If Rashford was part of the team Rooney played in,things could be different.buh trust me he's improving recently and I believe he's going to hit to the top since the team is improving gradually.
