Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford believes his rise to being called up into the England Euro's team in a space of just three months after making his Manchester debut is not real.
The 18 year old has enjoyed a meteoric rise since making his goal scoring debut in the Europa League match with FC Midtjylland.
He followed that up with a brace against the Gunners and scored the winning goal in the Manchester derby.
That registered him as a starter in the closing stages of the season at Old Trafford.
He followed a brilliant season up by scoring three minutes into his senior debut for the national team, a performance that helped him into the England Euro squad.
Looking back, Rashford still doesn't believe all these happened.
"At Christmas I was trying to work my way into United's Under-21s side. To be here (with the England Euro squad) now is just amazing." He said.
"I wasn't really thinking about the England set-up as much because at United there were a lot of games coming thick and fast so all of my focus was on those games."
The player also opened up on how he dealt with the nervousness that could have weakened him the first time he walked into the England dressing room.
"When I first went into the England changing room and saw all of the players' names on the back of their shirts, it didn't seem real.
"I tried not to think about it too much because that's probably where the pressure and stuff starts to get to people's heads and affect their performance."
