Marcus Rashford is simply unstoppable right now.After the toughest season of his Manchester United career, the English forward has bounced back in style under Erik ten Hag and it pretty much feels as though he scores every time he takes to the field.In fact, since the 25-year-old returned from the World Cup, the 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace is quite literally the only time that he hasn't scored in a game for the Red Devils.Rashford boasts 10 goals and two assists from 10 matches since flying back from Qatar, which is remarkable when you think that it was touch and go whether Gareth Southgate would call him up or not.

Did Rashford score in Forest vs Man Utd?

And all it took was six minutes of the first leg of United's Carabao Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest for his astonishing purple patch to stretch even further.

Rashford charges towards goal vs Forest.

Just a matter of days after he scored a fine solo goal in the 3-2 defeat to Arsenal, Rashford once again got on his bike to dribble with the ball from his own half at the City Ground.

And instead of playing a pass to one of his teammates, the United star's confidence was so high that he just went straight for the jugular and tore his way through Forest's back-line.

By the time he'd burst his way into the penalty area, you just knew that there could only be one result with Rashford duly sweeping home a clinical finish at the near post - check it out:

There's just no stopping him right now.

Both in the way that Rashford keeps scoring goal after goal after goal, the unstoppable nature of the United star couldn't have been more evident in the way that he charged from one end of the pitch to the other.

It might not have been the most neat and tidy of individual goals in that there seemed to be a slight deflection and he didn't need to slalom between a whole host of players to get to goal, but the fact that he just took off like a locomotive in the first place is mightily impressive.

And aside from his general streak of lethal finishing, it underlined Rashford's particular appetite for Carabao Cup action this season as he's now scored in every round of the competition.

With Newcastle United and Southampton contesting the other semi-final, United are the favourites to lift England football's first major piece of silverware of the season.

If they do, then Rashford will have played a major role in helping to secure the first major honour of the Ten Hag era and ending United's six-year trophy drought in the process.
