Rashford is one for the future

Caps: 5

Rating: 7/10

The youngest English forward to score in his first senior game, Marcus Rashford has become perhaps the most recognised name on the list of up-and-coming English talents.

At just 19-years-old, the forward already has 32 appearances to his name with the Red Devils and has repaid the trust placed in him by his club with a return of countless vibrant and energetic performances on the flank or through the centre.

Rashford has got a contagious eagerness to learn and develop as a player and we’ve already witnessed him become a key part of Jose Mourinho’s plans this term. For his nation, he may have made just the five appearances, but he’s got a goal to his name, which came in a friendly encounter with Australia.

The youngster was included in Roy Hodgson’s UEFA Euro 2016 squad. When he came on in England’s group stage tie against Wales, he helped change the complexion of the game, with the Three Lions coming back from a losing position to win 2-1.

Rashford is being tipped by many to become one of the greatest talents in world football so, of course, he must be considered as one of the best English frontmen. We still need to see more of the youngster to assure ourselves of his talent, though.
