Marcus Rashford has had anything but a quiet start to his Premier League career. The 21-year-old notched his 100th career appearance in the EPL on Sunday and did not miss a beat.

He began his professional career on Feb. 25, 2016, when he started for Man United in a Europa League game against Midtjylland.
Rashford broke a 1-1 tie by putting United up, and then he scored again, which was followed by a flood of goals as the club won 5-2. Rashford was already a hero at just 18 years old.
The young Englishman earned himself a starting spot in United’s EPL match with Arsenal just three days later. He again scored twice.
Rashford finished the season with eight goals for United and a name for himself.
He started his sophomore season hot, scoring four goals in his first seven outings, but he had a major cool-off and finished with just 11 goals the entire season. Last season, he registered 15 goals in all competitions, a mark he will soon surpass this season — he currently sits with 13 netted.
Rashford has scored in three of his last four EPL outings and has put a tremendous stamp on United’s eight-game unbeaten streak. He has also scored in four-straight away matches, his last two being the sole goals of the games.
