England 1-0 Switzerland: 5 Talking Points

#1 Marcus Rashford needs to play more:

Rashford scored the only goal of the match

Ever since his sparkling debut for Manchester United in February 2016, Rashford has become a fan-favourite for both club and country. However, he had undergone frustrating times from both sides, as Rashford spent most of the time on the bench as opposed to playing on the field.

At United, he has been often regressed to substitute appearances, and hence we have seen that there has been no major improvement in his overall gameplay. However, in this set of friendly fixtures, Rashford took a big advantage of Raheem Sterling’s injury and delivered a telling speech at the ISB.

In the first match, he ran behind the defence to score through Luke Shaw’s delivery from the left flank, whereas, against Switzerland, he pounced upon Kyle Walker’s cross from the right wing.

The 20-year-old was sent off in United’s last match against Phil Bardsley, as the lad head-butted Bardsley and thus is banned for three consecutive games.

This has somewhat triggered the fire inside him as Rashford has displayed that would be keen to increase his overall sharpness in both the matches.

Though he missed a fair bit of chances, Rashford has shown that he would readily step up the platter and deliver good performances with the expected level of consistency to ensure that United instil more stability in their campaign.

Whereas for England, he has certainly acted upon and scored more goals from the presented chances than usual starter Raheem Sterling. Two goals from two matches could mean really exciting times for the young Mancunian going ahead in this campaign.
