Marcus Rashford's start to his professional career is pretty much matchless.

But Real Madrid's very own wonderkid is making a damn good stab at replicating it. A variation on a first name is not the only thing that Rashford shares with Real's 20-year-old sensation Marco Asensio. The pair also share a fondness for scoring on debuts. Real Madrid CF v Legia Warszawa - UEFA Champions League Asensio was handed his Champions League debut by Zinedine Zidane on Tuesday night and availed of a gorgeous layoff from Cristiano Ronaldo to find the net and add to the goals he scored on his Real Madrid debut in the Uefa Super Cup and in his first game in La Liga. It likely comes a close second to Rashford's almost unfathomable goalscoring spree which started when, earlier this year, he profited from an Anthony Martial injury to score two goals on his first outing for the Red Devils in a Europa League clash with FC Midtjylland. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/783028854348771333 Since that fateful February night, the Manchester-born youngster scored on his Premier League debut, England U21 debut, his full England debut and became the youngest player to ever score in a Manchester derby. It could be fair to say that Rashford's feats may be more impressive just due to the fact that he's younger than Asensio and he's done more in his young career but that didn't stop fans on Twitter taking note of the resemblance between the respective emergences of the young talents. https://twitter.com/kobecreamy/status/788466762811576320 https://twitter.com/adi_rijez/status/788461097896570881 https://twitter.com/imfuckingelite/status/788461635887247360 https://twitter.com/FEELZ_/status/788461972710912005 https://twitter.com/ginger_prince28/status/788463366238969856 https://twitter.com/omg_its_abdul/status/788464271764123648 https://twitter.com/RMadridBoss/status/788464461640265728 https://twitter.com/A212NM/status/788465868065865729 https://twitter.com/liam_711/status/788466730406477824 Catch up with the latest episode of Football Friday Live
