Marcus Rashford may only be 18, but the Manchester United youth product is already a cult hero to many, and appears destined for greatness.
The English forward made his senior debut for the Red Devils in Thursday’s Europa League victory over Midtjylland, scoring two goals to become the club’s youngest player to score in a European competition, a record previously held by George Best.
He then followed that up with a Man of the Match performance against Arsenal in which he scored two and assisted one in the 3-2 victory over the Gunners.
After the game, Rashford was asked by a reporter how he would celebrate his dream debut in the English Premier League; however, the player admitted that he had more important things on his plate.
The teenager revealed to the reporter that he had a Chemistry exam the following day which he had to study for.
Reporter: "So how will you celebrate tonight?"

Rashford: "I won't be celebrating tonight. I have a chemistry exam tomorrow, Varela has too"
The following day, fans of the 20-time English Premier League giants were quick to wish Sunday's two-goal hero the best of luck in his exams, whilst a few took the opportunity to mock the Gunners.
