The 18-year-old has scored four goals in two appearances for the Red Devils and admits it is difficult to explain his match-winning exploits after seeing off the Gunners
Marcus Rashford says his elevation from fringe youngster to Manchester United hero has been a "crazy" experience as the teenager aims to continue his match-winning exploits.
An injury to Anthony Martial in the warm-up prior to the Europa League match at home to Midtjylland on Thursday has proved to be the trigger for one of the highlights of United's season.
Academy player Rashford scored twice on his first-team debut, with a 5-1 win firing the Red Devils into the round of 16.
Rashford kept his place for the visit of Arsenal to Old Trafford scoring twice and assisting the third goal as United won 3-2 and he admits his rise is difficult to explain.
"It's just crazy," he told Sky Sports after being named the man of the match. "You can't explain it when you're out there.
"It was a shock playing in midweek … but that kind of benefited me, not thinking about the game too much.
"Obviously it's been amazing. To score two is a bonus so hopefully we just carry it on and go again [in the] next game."
Midfielder Michael Carrick also praised the striker as well as Dutch midfielder Timothy Fosu-Mensah who made his debut off the bench in Sunday's win.
He said: "He [Rashford] has done unbelievable. What a week for him, what a week for us. I think you can see what that meant to us.
"The young lads that came in have done ever so well.
"It's a real breath of fresh air. For me it's bringing back memories of when you're starting your career. You get your chance and you want to take it.
"That's a massive bonus for us, it has given us a massive boost."
