Marcus Rashford produced a sublime piece of skill during Wednesday night's Europa League clash between Manchester United and FC Twente – and we can't stop watching.
In the 32nd minute at Old Trafford, Rashford went one-on-one against former Norwich City striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel.
After keeping the ball in play, the 26-year-old forward executed a perfectly-weighted elastico through Van Wolfswinkel's legs before delivering an accurate pass to Lisandro Martinez.
Martinez, who may well have been caught out by the speed of Rashford's feet, failed to get his shot on target but it didn't take away from the outrageous piece of skill.

Rashford has shown signs of being back to his best in recent weeks, and his first-half performance reflected that form of late.
As well as completing four take-ons, he created two chances and won all of his duels – something that has been missing from his game in recent seasons.
Here's how fans on social media reacted to his first-half display against FC Twente.
One said: "Rashford is the winner of this game regardless of what happens," whilst another commented: "Rashford elastico. He got his joy back. Pshh."
A third wrote: "Rashford has honestly found his rhythm of recent, confidence is truly key."
A fourth commented: "A confident Rashford is truly a terrifying player to come up against," and a fifth added: "Marcus Rashford has completed 3/3 take-ons in the first 20 minutes vs. Twente. That’s more than he completed in an average game last season."
Shortly after Rashford's elastico brought Old Trafford to its feet, in-form midfielder Christian Eriksen opened the scoring for United with a well-taken effort from inside the box.
