It's not meant to be this easy, but no-one told Marcus Rashford that.

The 18-year-old striker scored on his debut in the Europa League, the Premier League, for the English senior team and now for the England U21's. Whatever way you look at it, that's a seriously impressive return. Rashford only took part in the game against Norway because he was, somewhat controversially, overlooked for Sam Allardyce's first senior England squad. However, Big Sam was present in Colchester as Rashford ran riot against the Scandinavians, scoring a hat-trick in some style and stating his case to start in this weekend's Manchester derby. The 18-year-old's second goal of the night, in particular, was stunning. Have a look at all three goals in his Man of the Match display below. https://twitter.com/btsportfootball/status/773228058975281152?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Rashford scored the winner for United against Hull City in the final game before the international break, and if he continues this form it's going to become increasingly difficult to hold the young striker back for club and country. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is unlikely to lose his place when United host Manchester City on Saturday, but a lot of fans reckon the local lad's international exploits should be rewarded with a start in the hotly anticipated derby clash. https://twitter.com/RobDaBank8/status/773208996652122112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/endahiggins88/status/773212756807999488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/VintageYanited/status/773212818451623936?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/MrJordanO98/status/773257886298411008 https://twitter.com/MmililiM/status/773257917080412168 https://twitter.com/phil_pgp/status/773248607386492928 https://twitter.com/redfreddevil/status/773230343579205632 And it wasn't just the Manchester United fans talking the remarkable young forward up. England fans who watched Harry Kane struggle to make an impact in Sunday's World Cup qualifier with Slovakia are calling for him to receive an immediate promotion back into the senior team. https://twitter.com/JakeRenney/status/773243607549632516 https://twitter.com/OoAh_Cantona/status/773243050898362369 https://twitter.com/ManLikeCorbyn/status/773240344385314816 https://twitter.com/taz_nino/status/773238563605446656 https://twitter.com/subegh84/status/773235500966678528 All in all, it's not going too badly for Marcus Rashford. https://twitter.com/MarcusRashford/status/773239848882827266
