The 18-year-old rattled in a hat-trick for England U21, against Norway, last night to continue a debut trend that includes Manchester United and the senior England side. Indeed, Rashford has now score six goals in three debut games in 2016.
He used his pace and finishers' instincts to score two of his goals but told BT Sport that his favourite of the three goals was his calmly slotted penalty.
The teenager has found himself held in reserve in each of Jose Mourinho's opening four fixtures at United but his late winner against Hull, and his U21 form, may be enough to force him into the Manchester Derby picture. Asked about his prospects of playing, he was pretty straightforward:
"As a young player, that's what you want to do - you want to give the manager something to think about. You want to make him make decisions about whether you are playing or whether you're in the squad."Everyone is looking forward to it so it should be a good game."
Rashford has eight goals and two assists in 15 United games. He scored the winner in last season's win over City at the Etihad Stadium.
