Proof that Marcus Rashford may be the best striker in Europe right now

Kevin McGillicuddy

18-years-old and already a class act

The Premier League season may be over, or very close to it, but Marcus Rashford already has a massive future ahead of him.

The teenager has almost single-handedly saved Manchester United’s season with his excellent goal-scoring record that currently stands at seven in 12 for the Old Trafford giants.

Louis van Gaal may have given out to the youngster in the 3-0 loss to Tottenham and hauled him off at half-time, but not even that type of dressing down can mask his talent.

The good folk at Opta have produced a stunning stat tonight that suggests the 18-year-old prodigy could very well be the most economic striker operating across Europe right now.

Crystal Palace has been warned ahead of the game tonight not to let the youngster shoot, or the consequences are obvious  for all to see.
