Marcus Rashford has been coming in for praise from Manchester United players as well as a host of legends and former teammates following his excellent display for England against Wales.
England sailed through to the knock-out stages with a confident and dominant 3-0 win over their Welsh neighbours on Tuesday night and it was United star Rashford who broke the deadlock with a sublime free-kick early in the first half. Phil Foden then doubled the lead moments later after he slammed home Harry Kane's cross.
It was Rashford who stole all the headlines after he rounded off the scoring when he cut inside and squeezed a shot past the hapless Danny Ward. The strikes make Rashford the joint-top scorer in Qatar with three alongside Kylian Mbappe, Cody Gakpo and Enner Valencia.
