FIRST IMPRESSION

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford in seventh heaven as he continues amazing debut record in Champions League

MARCUS RASHFORD has only gone and done it again by continuing his incredible record of debut goals for Manchester United.

The hotshot, who does not turn 20 until next month, was thrust into his first taste of Champions League action from the bench on Tuesday.

And he duly found found the net as he notched the Red Devils' third in the 3-0 win over Basel.

Amazingly it was his seventh – yes SEVENTH – debut goal since he exploded onto the scene at the beginning of 2016.

Rashford shot to prominence when he netted twice on his first-ever game for United against Midtjylland in the Europa League little under 18 months ago.

Days later he followed that up by bagging on his Premier League bow against Arsenal.

Next up was the Manchester derby, and again he made a stunning first impression as he stroked home the matchwinner at City.

A debut goal was becoming common practice by now, so it came as no surprise when he scored within minutes of making his senior England debut against Australia in May later that year.

Demotion to the Three Lions’ U21 squad failed to deter Rashford and his scoring exploits.

And he celebrated his first cap at that level by hitting a hat-trick past Norway earlier this month.

Then it was the EFL Cup next on his hitlist - and he did the business again as he found the target during a victory at Northampton 12 months ago.
