Manchester United fans might sometimes be criticised for going over the top for their praise of Marcus Rashford and told not to get carried away but tonight the young striker had his own Ronaldinho moment.
Ever since Manchester born Rashford exploded onto the scene with four massive goals in his first two games, two in the Europa League against FC Midtjylland and two against Arsenal in the Champions League, it's easy for United and England fans to be excited by Marcus Rashford.
There's no doubt that the United forward could end up being a brilliant player but how good is he right now? Some would argue he's as good as Kylian Mbappe but minus the chances to play as a central striker, others would say he's nowhere near the PSG man.

Rashford's winner in the Champions League game Benfica on Wednesday night might not have been as far out but it required the same quick thinking and skill to lob the Portuguese side's young goalie:

What a moment for the youngster.
