FIFA 16's Team of the Week has been unveiled by EA Sports today, much to the surprise of the Premier League as Manchester United's Marcus Rashford has not been included.
The 18-year old forward popped up with what commentator Martin Tyler described as a 'double-double' last week, scoring two goals in the Europa League tie against FC Midtjylland and then a further brace versus Arsenal in the Premier League – just three days later.
Despite being named in both the Europa League and ESPN team of the week, there is no sign of Rashford in FIFA 16's selection this time around.
EA Sports, however, decided to opt for a different batch of strikers instead. Take a look at the official XI below:

The decision to not select Rashford for this week's XI hasn't gone down too well with the Manchester United faithful, it would seem. Here are a few tweets:
@EASPORTSFIFA so 4 goals in 2 games in 1 week isn't enough to get Rashford a TOTW card? #MUFC

One Twitter user even went the extra mile and made a mock-up version of what Rashford's card might have looked like:
