Rashford has been Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s choice to lead the line since taking over from Old Trafford.
The Norwegian was prepared to download Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sánchez in the summer, such was his faith in the 22-year-old.

Maguire received the bracelet this season even though it only came from Leicester in the summer.
That move was criticized by some who felt that the decision showed a lack of available leaders for Solskjaer.
But the central half of the Three Lions is confident that Rashford will emerge as a future leader.
He added: “I think as a club, you should have a captain and trust him, but you need to spread the responsibility for leadership in the group.”
“Marcus is there and he struggles in every game, he’s obviously losing a serious injury right now, but he’s struggling to come back and he rarely misses games.”
“He always wants to be available. I think he can see around the place and on and off the field, he’s excellent with his charity work, which is great to see.”
