Life at Old Trafford without Cristiano Ronaldo has begun, and while their first game without the Portuguese ace was not against a title contender, fans can rest easy about the team's future with players like Marcus Rashford around.
The English striker paved the way for Manchester United during their clash against Nottingham Forest by scoring the opener and adding an assist to his record. Both of those goals came in four minutes, giving the Red Devils a chance to cruise past the Tricky Trees in their return to Premier League action.
If fans thought the team would suffer to find a replacement for CR7, these numbers by Rashford might make them think otherwise.
