Manchester United prodigy Marcus Rashford proved his class once again and reaffirmed the popular fan opinion that his talent should be used at the senior level after scoring an incredible treble in his U21 debut as England thrashed Norway 6-1 on Tuesday.
The 18-year-old striker, who was earlier dropped from England’s senior squad by new Three Lions boss Sam Allardyce, opened the account in the 29th minute.
Marcus Rashford displayed incredible pace to get on the end Chalobah’s deflected pass before launching a strike into the bottom corner.
The promising young striker scored his second in the 64th minute from a brilliant curling effort into the top corner before completing his hat-trick from the penalty spot.
Earlier, Rashford had also scored in his debut matches in the Premier League and Europa League for Man Utd and also for England’s senior team when Hodgson had included him in the squad.
