Manchester United youngster Marcus Rashford’s year just keeps getting better.

The striker scored a hat-trick for England’s under-21 side, with the second goal the pick of the bunch, a curling effort from the edge of the box.

His treble caused quite a stir on social media, and Chelsea youngster Kasey Palmer summed up just how easy the United striker is making his career look so far.

Rashford has now scored on his Manchester United debut, England debut, and England under-21 debut – for his club also netting on his first games in the Europa League and Premier League.

The striker is providing a blueprint for other young players to follow, including the likes of Palmer.

Palmer himself is not doing badly, currently on loan at Championship surprise package Huddersfield Town. He scored on the first day of the season for the Terriers, with his first touch, and it may not be too long before he is following in Marcus Rashford’s footsteps.
