Dramatic penalty against PSG (2018/19)
Playing in his second season in the Champions League, Rashford produced one of the best moments for Manchester United in recent history.
The Red Devils found themselves 2-0 down heading into the second leg of their last 16 tie against PSG and looked on the brink of elimination.
However, United gave themselves hope in Paris with Romelu Lukaku scoring twice either side of Juan Bernat's early strike which meant, with the visitors 3-2 down on aggregate, they only needed to score once more to go through on away goals.
With the game drifting away, the Premier League side were awarded a controversial penalty when Pascal Kimpembe was adjudged to have handled inside the area in stoppage time.
Rashford stepped up and executed the perfect penalty past iconic goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon to send United into the quarter-finals.
Late winner stuns PSG (2020/21)
His second special moment against the French champions came in the group stages five years ago.
United went ahead through a Bruno Fernandes penalty before an Anthony Martial own goal put the Parisiens back level in the second half.
With the game set to end in a draw and the clock ticking into the 87th minute, Rashford was set up on the edge of the area by substitute Paul Pogba and smashed a fierce strike in off the post to seal the 2-1 win at the Parc de Princes.
It could be a great sign for Aston Villa fans that Rashford has scored two late winners in PSG's backyard!
16-minute hat-trick against Leipzig (2020/21)
Just eight days on from his match-winning performance in the French capital, Rashford delivered a memorable display at Old Trafford in a 5-0 win over RB Leipzig.
With the Red Devils leading 1-0, Rashford was brought on after 63 minutes and subsequently tore the Leipzig defence to shreds.
He scored a quick-fire double before grabbing his third in stoppage time to complete his first and only hat-trick in the competition so far.
The only shame was that there were no supporters in attendance on the night due to the Covid-19 restrictions.
Old Trafford would surely have given Rashford a standing ovation at the end of the game after he sealed the first and only treble of his career.
