Marcus Rashford is one of the best-known footballers in the country – but can you name the Manchester United XI from his club debut in 2016?
After breaking into the starting XI under Louis van Gaal, Rashford quickly established himself as one of the most exciting attackers in world football.
What’s often forgotten is that Rashford only made his United debut because of an injury to Anthony Martial in the warm-up before the Europa League match against Midtjylland.
Taking advantage of his fortune, the 18-year-old scored twice in United’s 5-1 victory and netted another double in their Premier League match against Arsenal three days later.
A star was born. It’s one of the biggest sliding door moments in English football’s recent history.
But we’re asking you to name the United XI that played on that February night against Midtjylland. As you’d expect, it’s a mixture of established names and ones that will leave you scratching your heads.
