Paul Scholes hailed Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford for the manner in which he netted his first goal during Thursday night's enthralling 3-2 win over Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League.

The England international, who played no part in United's opening two Europa League group matches against Real Sociedad and Sheriff Tiraspol last month, stepped off the bench at half-time to score twice and grab an assist, inspiring Erik ten Hag's side to a much-needed win.

United were 1-0 down at half-time and Ten Hag opted to make a double change, bringing Luke Shaw and Rashford on in place of Tyrell Malacia and Jadon Sancho.

Rashford quickly repaid his manager's faith, bringing United back level just eight minutes into the second period. He latched onto Bruno Fernandes' exquisite pass, turned and bent home a lovely, composed effort from the edge of the penalty area.
