Gareth Southgate named his provisional 33-man squad on Tuesday for the Euros in Germany this summer and it’s no surprise that Man United’s Marcus Rashford was left out.
The 26-year-old has been a regular in Southgate’s squads since the Three Lions manager took over the England national team role in 2016 but has been unable to justify the now-winner’s inclusion.
Rashford has had a very difficult season at Old Trafford over the past few months, which has seen him run into trouble both on and off the pitch.
The England man has scored just eight goals in 42 games for United in the 2023/24 campaign and his attitude on the pitch is not good either. This has led to Rashford missing the Euros this summer and could be a wake-up call for the 26-year-old.
The Man United star wasn’t the only big name left out Southgate discarding the likes of Jordan Henderson, Recece James, Nick Pope, Raheem Sterling again Ben Chilwell.
Marcus Rashford has a classy response to the England snub
Following the news that Rashford will not be attending the Euros this summer, the striker had a classy response to what would have been a huge disappointment for the 26-year-old.
Man United posted a picture of the squad on their Instagram story and wrote via the Daily Mail: “Wishing Gareth and the boys all the best for the upcoming tournament.
Many Manchester United fans are hoping this lights a fire under Rashford ahead of the 2024/25 season as they saw last season how good a player can be when his confidence is high. The winger could start this weekend in the FA Cup final as a big performance would be a good response to Southgate leaving him out.
