Just a few weeks ago, the name Marcus Rashford wasn’t even worthy of a detailed Wikipedia page.

Four goals in his first two Manchester United appearances later and the 18-year-old was being tipped by some to work his way into Roy Hodgson’s Euro 2016 plans.

Unfortunately for the Mancunian Pelé, he’s not managed to make the senior England squad just yet.

Instead, Rashford has been selected for England’s Under-20 squad ahead of their game against Canada on March 27, leaving him with just a few weeks to prove to Hodgson that he’s destined to fire his country to European glory in June.
