Marcus Rashford has already scored more Premier League goals this season that he did in the whole of the 2017/18 campaign.The England international celebrated his 150th appearance in style on Saturday with another wonderful strike in the 2-1 victory over Brighton, his fifth goal in six league games.Marcus Rashford was among the goals yet again on Saturday1

For the first time in his career, Rashford has started ten league matches in a row, with interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer preferring him to Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez in the centre forward role.Here, talkSPORT.com takes a look at his stats from previous seasons to analyse his meteoric improvement.

Rashford in the 2016/17 Premier League season

Matches: 16 starts (16 substitute appearances)Goals: 5Assists: 1Shots per 90 mins: 1.4Key passes per 90 mins: 0.7Dribbles per 90 mins: 1.2WhoScored.com rating: 6.58After breaking into the senior squad during the 2015/16 campaign, the following season was a bit of an anti-climax.He saw plenty of game time under Jose Mourinho, and despite failing to contribute many goals or assists, it was a crucial season for his development as he established himself in the Red Devils first-team.

Rashford in the 2017/18 Premier League season

Matches: 17 starts (18 substitute appearances)Goals: 7Assists: 5Shots per 90 mins: 1.7Key passes per 90 mins: 0.6Dribbles per 90 mins: 1.3Who Scored.com rating: 6.76But he failed to kick-on and the 2017/18 season proved little different, as you can see by the numbers.There was hardly any sign of improvement in most areas, as he failed to gain many more starts or goals.He did, however, notch four more assists than the previous season as he was deployed increasingly in wide areas.

Rashford in the 2018/19 Premier League season

Matches: 15 starts (5 substitute appearances)Goals: 8Assists: 6Shots per 90 mins: 2.3Key passes per 90 mins: 1.1Dribbles per 90 mins: 1.2WhoScored.com rating: 7.10Finally, Rashford’s career has lift off. We’re just past the half-way point of the 2018/19 season, and already he has more goals and assists than any previous campaign.The 21-year-old has considerably more shots per game and produces more key passes as well, which is undoubtedly a result of the freedom granted to him by Solskjaer.What’s more, he nearly has as many starts as any previous season, and there are still 15 games to go.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer faces another tough test.
