Just a few weeks ago, the name Marcus Rashford wasn't even worthy of a detailed Wikipedia page.

Unfortunately for the Mancunian Pelé, he's not managed to make the senior England squad just yet.

Instead, Rashford has been selected for England's Under-20 squad ahead of their game against Canada on March 27, leaving him with just a few weeks to prove to Hodgson that he's destined to fire his country to European glory in June.
