Supporters reckon there's even more to come from Marcus Rashford after the revived Manchester United forward netted on his England return during their show-stopping World Cup opener vs Iran.
Goals from Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka (2), Raheem Sterling, Rashford and Jack Grealish earned the Three Lions a superb 6-2 victory to set their Group B charge alight. Rashford came off the bench to tuck home the fifth less than a minute after being summoned at the Khalifa International Stadium.
It was his first international outing since the Euro 2020 final last summer. He was not the only United name to shine, either, as Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw helped themselves to assists in a rampant opening 45 minutes.

But attentions from Old Trafford upon the restart were fixed firmly on Rashford as he combined with Harry Kane to notch his 13th strike for the England senior team. However, there was nothing lucky about that particular number as Rashford mirrored his impressive club form on the global stage.
It was a trademark touch and finish from the Academy graduate - despite him operating from the right. His success for club and country has, predominantly, been from the opposite side and yet on this occasion he was able to show his versatility on a memorable night for England.
Having returned to his best under Erik ten Hag this season, with eight goals and three assists from 19 matches in all competitions, Rashford came on for two-goal hero Saka in the final stages and quickly made his mark. It was a great moment for United and it was duly celebrated by their supporters on social media and beyond.
