Under normal circumstances, when young footballers register a flawless start on their debut for their clubs, they celebrate their achievements by holding parties and other forms of merry-making. But for one teenage sensation, Marcus Rashford, who scored a brace in Man United’s unexpected win over their rivals Arsenal on Sunday, things are quite different. The 18-year-old student revealed that he had not plans of celebrating his famous goals that gave a youthful Man United side three crucial points against Arsene Wenger’s men, who were clearly the favourites.

The product of the Man United academy also scored a brace on his debut against Midtjylland last Thursday. He came on as Anthony Martial’s replacement and became an instant hit among the Red Devils faithful after a stellar performance. The Englishman has now scored four goals in his first two games for Man United’s senior team.
Fast forward to the post-match interview last weekend, a reporter asked the teenage sensation whether he had other plans of celebrating his latest brace and here is how the conversation went down:
Reporter: ''So how will you celebrate tonight?''
Rashford: ''I won’t be celebrating tonight. I have a chemistry exam tomorrow. Valera has too.’’
The priceless response won the hearts of Man United fans on Twitter, who bombarded him with success messages ahead of his exams, while some toyed with the idea.
