Marcus Rashford will have the freedom to shine for the Three Lions

Harry Kane will be shouldering the goal-scoring responsibility for England at the World Cup. This will allow the likes of Marcus Rashford to go to the World Cup and just express themselves.

Rashford broke into the Manchester United side with amazing swagger. On his Premier League debut against Arsenal, the young striker managed to score a brace and provide an assist.

Rashford had a bit of a difficult season last year, though. He found it difficult to start regularly, but still managed to score 13 goals and provide 9 assists in 53 appearances across all competitions.

Rashford is another versatile forward. He is blessed with electric pace and he plays with the unbridled joy of a young player. His balance suits his direct style of play as he loves to take defenders on. Rashford's time playing as a number ten in youth teams shows, as his passing and creativity are very mature for his age.

Rashford will not be England's best bet at the World Cup, but he just might produce the impossible for the Three Lions in Russia.
