Since Harry Maguire's 118th minute to sink the Canaries, United have beaten Brighton (three times), Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Leicester City, Luton Town, Newcastle United and now PSG.
Speaking after scoring the winner against PSG, Rashford said, as quoted by GOAL.
"Of course it's a nice feeling. More importantly, we won the game.
"We're in a strong position now in the group but it's the first game. The concentration levels we showed today we have to take forward into the next game.
"For me, they were both opportunities to win the game. As a striker, in the game late on, that's the mentality. You might only get one chance. It gets us the three points.
"It's a good performance but also one where we have a lot to build on. I always believe in the team.
"As players it's important to believe in the system that the manager chooses to play.”
