Manchester United fans are delighted to see Marcus Rashford back in the first team for their Champions League game against Benfica.

The teenager has made 12 appearances for the Old Trafford club this season and has netted five times in all competitions.

But despite his ability in front of goal has found nailing down a place in the first team rather difficult, mostly due to the ability of both Romelu Lukaku up front and Anthony Martial on the left.

Jose Mourinho named him on the bench for Manchester United's game against Liverpool at Anfield on the weekend.

But he has been selected to start their game against Benfica on Wednesday night, and it's safe to say supporters are rather pleased.

As the Red Devils announced their team on Twitter, fans celebrated the fact that the youngster would be showing the world what he is capable of doing on the left.

In fact, it seems the only person who will be disappointed by Rashford being named in the team is Martial, who will have to watch from the bench.
