Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford has laid down the gauntlet after his match-winning goal against West Ham.
The second-half substitute fired in the only goal of the game against the Hammers after Edinson Cavani's off 30 seconds before the death.
His strike sent the Reds into the two-week winter break in fourth, with his effort helping United into the Champions League places for the first time since October.
He joined the likes of Jesse Lingard and Diogo Dalot in Dubai as part of their own warm-weather training camp before their next clash in the FA Cup at the beginning of February where they host Middlesborough.
The 24-year-old has endured a spell away from the starting line-up after his form dipped with Ralf Rangnick taking him out of the firing line.
To his 12.4m followers, Rashford posted on Instagram: "No days off".
He was introduced midway through the second half against Brentford in midweek and found himself on the scoresheet thumping into the roof of the net to add a third against Thomas Frank's side.
Days later, he scored his second in as many games but his last-gasp effort was arguably the more significant as he downed their Champions League rivals.
United have a busy period ahead of them upon the return to club football, their FA Cup fourth-round clash is quickly followed by a trip to Turf Moor where they face relegation-threatened Burnley.
Rashford will be hoping to maintain his form going into the latter stages of the season with two legs against Atletico Madrid and reverse fixtures against Manchester City, Tottenham, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea.
