Rashford's struggles continue; uncertain England squad position

thesun.co.uk

Marcus Rashford had another chance to impress but struggled again in England's match against Latvia, which ended in a 3-0 victory. Despite creating six chances, he could not deliver a significant impact on the game. The Manchester United forward, currently on loan at Aston Villa, had a positive first half, using his speed effectively. However, his performance faded in the second half after switching positions. He was eventually substituted and did not contribute enough during the game. Rashford's difficulties highlight a broader issue for England's attack. Other players in his position, like Jack Grealish and Phil Foden, are also facing challenges. Rashford may still have a chance to maintain his spot in the team due to the current lack of strong competition for his position. While his coach, Thomas Tuchel, has shown faith in him by starting him in consecutive games, Rashford has not scored since December. The upcoming World Cup qualifier and friendly in June provide another opportunity for him to prove himself. Despite his struggles, Rashford remains on the national team's radar, but doubts about his future contributions linger. Fans and coaches alike are watching closely to see if he can reclaim his form.
