For Marcus Rashford last season, there is a period that could be classified as before World Cup and one that we'll call after World Cup.
Up until the winter tournament in Qatar, Rashford scored eight goals in 19 games and did enough to end his spell in the international wilderness.
Then came the tournament and a respectable return of three goals and some lively performances. Rashford looked one of England's most dangerous forwards and his introduction for just the final five minutes of the quarter-final defeat to France was heavily criticised.
England might have gone out earlier than they had hoped for, but something clicked for Rashford. He returned to United in even better form than he had left and with his confidence levels surging.
