The rise of Man United wonderkid Marcus Rashford has paid big dividends for the club as they have won every game in which he has scored a goal so far. Most recently, he recorded the lone goal in the Red Devils’ 1-0 victory over relegation-guaranteed Aston Villa on Saturday – his seventh in all competitions since making his unexpected debut against FC Midtjylland in the Europa League over two months ago.
Since his debut a mere 12 games ago, the striking starlet has not only scored goals at a better rate than almost every other BPL player, but more than the entire Aston Villa team.
According to Squawka, Rashford has actually outscored Aston Villa seven to three since his debut on February 26. Aston Villa have lost all eight Premier League games in that span, scoring one goal against Stoke City, Everton and Bournemouth while being shut out five times.

Rashford scored two goals in each of his first two appearances for Man United – twice against Midtjylland and twice versus Arsenal in his Premier League debut. After five games without a goal, Rashford returned to his scoring ways with the lone goal against Manchester City and then the difference-making goal in a 2-1 FA Cup win over West Ham United.
