Marcus Rashford

Rumors have linked Marcus with Courtney Morrison and Lucia Loi, but he has never been vocal about his relationships. It appears that he is currently single.

Marcus was born on October 31, 1997, in Wythenshawe, Manchester, England. He was raised by his mother, Mel Rashford. He grew up with three brothers and a sister.

When he was 5, he joined the ‘Fletcher Moss Rangers,’ a junior football club, and became the center of attention because of his talent. Many of his current teammates, such as Cameron Borthwick–Jackson and Tyler Blackett, also played for the junior football club.

During his stint with the ‘Fletcher Moss Rangers,’ Marcus was noticed by a talent scout. At the age of 7, Marcus was enrolled at the academy of the prestigious club ‘Manchester United.’

Getting enrolled at the academy was a turning point in Marcus’s already flourishing career. In 2015, He was included for the first time in the first-team bench for a ‘Premier League’ match, against ‘Watford,’ which was won by ‘Manchester United.’

On February 25, 2016, Marcus had a big opportunity to be part of the ‘UEFA Europa League’ round of 32, after Anthony Martial was injured in the warm-up match. Marcus was a late addition to the team for obvious reasons. Marcus stunned the football world in his first-team debut match when he scored 2 goals in the second half of the match against ‘Midtjylland.’ ‘Manchester United’ won 5–1.

The 2 goals scored by Marcus not only led his team to emerge victorious in the game but also made him break the previous record of George Best to become the youngest player ever to score a goal in a European competition.

He made his ‘English Premier League’ debut against ‘Arsenal,’ three days later. He ended up scoring 2 goals again and became the third-youngest player in the history of ‘Manchester United’ to achieve this feat, after Federico Macheda and Danny Welbeck. In the same match, Marcus also assisted in scoring another goal that eventually helped his team beat ‘Arsenal’ in a 3–2 home victory.

On March 20, 2016, Marcus made his ‘Manchester derby’ debut and became the only goal-scorer of the game. Marcus also became the youngest player to score a goal in the history of ‘Manchester derby.’ Marcus was only 18 years old when he added this feather to his cap.

Before making his international debut with ‘Manchester United,’ Marcus became a part of the ‘UEFA Euro 2016.’ In a warm-up match against Australia, Marcus scored the opening goal, clinching a 2–1 win and becoming the youngest English player to do so in an international debut.

He broke Wayne Rooney’s ‘UEFA Euro 2004’ record by four days, to become the youngest player ever to represent England at the ‘European Championships.’ He did so by debuting at the age of 18, as a substitute for Adam Lallana, in a 2–1 win over ‘Wales’ at the ‘UEFA Euro 2016.’

As a senior, he scored his first goal against Slovakia in the 2018 ‘FIFA World Cup.’ His team won 2–1, with a winning goal scored by Rashford.
