After ending a run without a Premier League goal - stretching back over six months - on Sunday against Sunderland, Marcus Rashford was given more good news on Monday.The talented teen has been named among the 98 nominees for the prestigious Golden Boy award for 2017.A glimpse at the previous winners - which include Wayne Rooney, Paul Pogba and Lionel Messi - is enough proof to show that the Golden Boy victors tend to go on and enjoy fruitful careers, to say the least.It's true he will face stiff competition from the likes of Gianluigi Donnarumma, Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele but nevertheless, it is another impressive milestone for Rashford.With just over a year's worth of experience under his belt, the young star has already accomplished plenty.The 19-year-old is a regular for club and country, has already picked up two major trophies and is widely regarded as one of the most promising prospects England has to offer right now.And despite his rapid rise, Rashford remains as humble and dedicated as ever - never forgetting his journey to where he is now.On Monday he tweeted a picture of himself from just eight years ago accompanied by something he wrote about his future and aims.There weren't any wavering doubts in Rashford's mind what he wanted to be when he was growing up. Football was his only goal.An 11-year-old Rashford wrote: "I hope that my future is very bright in and out of school especially in my career as a footballer."I want to have a different lifestyle and make my family and others proud of me."I ONLY HAVE ONE AIM IN LIFE AND THAT IS TO BE A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLER, AND HOPEFULLY AT MANCHESTER UNITED."

Talk about living the dream!

Eight years later, Rashford is earning his keep as a professional footballer and at Man United.

It is just the type of reflective social media post that fans love and you can hardly blame United fans revelling in the final part of his prediction. Here is the best reaction on social media:

Sunday's late goal against the Black Cats would have certainly given Rashford a timely confidence boost to kick on for the final stages of the campaign.

Bagging a few more goals between now and the end of the season definitely won't harm his Golden Boy chances either!
