#5 Youngest player ever to take the field for England in a major international tournament finals
After his wonderfully natural transition from Manchester United reserve to debut goalscorer in his first England cap within less than 3 months, the entire nation was eagerly awaiting his inclusion in the final cut for England’s 23-man squad, and it duly came by.
Rashford first appeared in the tournament late on during England’s dramatic late win against Wales, coming on in the 73rd minute for Adam Lallana. At 18 years and 229 days, Rashford beat Wayne Rooney’s previous record by a margin of 4 days, although England’s 2016 campaign was fated just as badly as their 2004 campaign in which Rooney set the competition on fire.
