A fantastically low number of Fantasy Football players have Marcus Rashford in their team

Not for long though

Robert Redmond

We reckon he’ll be snapped up now.

Marcus Rashford was a virtual unknown this time last week, but he now has four goals in two games for Manchester United.

The 18 year old striker only started the team’s Europa League tie against FC Midtjylland because Anthony Martial picked up an injury in the warm-up.

Rashford’s brace earned him a start against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon, and the teenager put the Gunners to the sword, scoring twice in the first-half before setting up Ander Herrera for United’s third in a 3-2 win.

You would’ve been forgiven for thinking Louis van Gaal wouldn’t use Rashford in such a big game, despite his showing earlier in the week, but it appears a couple of Fantasy Football players gambled on the 18 year old’s inclusion.

The striker scored 13 points for his display, yet just 0.2% of players have Rashford in their team.

We reckon that might change by the time United play West Brom next week.rashford fantasy football1
