Paul McShane’s analogy to describe Marcus Rashford’s meteoric rise is brilliantly Irish

Vintage McShane

This is vintage McShane.

If you’re not following Paul McShane on Twitter, then you’re missing out because the Reading captain’s social media game is particularly strong.

When Marcus Rashford scored twice in the first-half of Manchester United’s game against Arsenal on Sunday afternoon, Twitter was set alight.

The 18 year old striker was a virtual unknown this time last week, but now has four goals in two senior games for United, and McShane’s reaction perhaps best summed up his meteoric rise… in a very distinctive, Irish way.

While some might say the Republic of Ireland defender is being a little crude, it was still one of the more unique reactions to Rashford’s brace.
