18-year-old Marcus Rashford the star as sizzling Man United serve up five-goal feast

A tie which seemed destined to be remembered for Louis van Gaal’s inexplicable demand for a “horny” performance instead belonged to 18-year-old forward Marcus Rashford, who was called into the side during the warm-up and scored twice as Manchester United comfortably reached the last 16 of the Europa League.

Anthony Martial damaged a hamstring before kick-off, paving the way for academy product Rashford to write his name in United folklore with two goals that helped his side to a 6-3 aggregate victory.

First, Rashford struck after 63 minutes when Juan Mata did well to keep a long cross from Ander Herrera in play on the left-hand by-line, pulling the ball back for the teenager to calmly convert with a clinical, low shot from eight yards.
