MANCHESTER, England -- When Manchester United played in the Twilight Zone of the Europa League in recent seasons, Marcus Rashford never hid his frustration at being unable to display his talents on the biggest stage, the Champions League, but he is rapidly making up for lost time. A week after scoring a late winner against Paris Saint-Germain, he struck a 16-minute hat trick to blow away RB Leipzig.
Rashford just can't avoid the spotlight right now. If he is not scoring goals for United, he is challenging politicians by fighting for free meals for under-privileged children and earning recognition from the Queen of England in the process.
