Manchester United sensation Marcus Rashford continued his dream 2016 by scoring on his debut for England’s under-21 side.

The young striker had dropped down from the senior squad after failing to start any of United’s first Premier League matches, with his dramatic winner away to Hull City coming too late to alter Sam Allardyce’s squad selection.

Rashford scored on his senior England debut before Euro 2016, and replicated that last night with a perfectly taken goal over Norway’s under-21 side.

Put through on goal one on one, there was only ever going to be one results as the striker ruthlessly fired the ball into the bottom corner.

He went onto score a hat-trick, finishing up by slotting home a penalty.

BBC Match of the Day host Gary Lineker was quick to acclaim the teenager’s impact, asking for him to be given more of a prominent role in the England senior side.

This will surely happen once Rashford gets more game time at United, and he has done himself no harm at all with his recent goals for club and country.

His strike was a message to Jose Mourinho as well as one to impress Sam Allardyce, and once again it appears the sky is the limit for the youngster.
