'Superman!' - Manchester United fans amazed by Marcus Rashford goal vs Nottingham Forest

Manchester United's supporters were left in awe of Marcus Rashford after he fired the Reds into an early lead in their Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Wednesday night.

With just six minutes on the clock, Rashford, who stepped off the bench to score twice in the last round against Charlton Athletic, picked the ball up inside his own half, motored forward down the left-hand side, beat two Forest defenders and planted a left-footed finish past goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey.

It was a moment of brilliance from the England international, who continues to go from strength-to-strength since the World Cup pause. He has now scored 18 times in all competitions this season, five of which have come in the Carabao Cup.

Rashford has developed a habit for scoring impressive solo goals this season, with one of his best coming in the Carabao Cup against Burnley last month. However, his effort in the opening exchanges of the clash at the City Ground threatened to top it.

Confidence is currently flowing through his veins and it seems almost impossible to stop him. Below, MEN Sport has taken a close look at what some of United's supporters had to say in response to his latest goal:
