England manger Gareth Southgate has defended his decision not to play Marcus Rashford more at the 2022 World Cup in spite of how good the Manchester United star has been this season ️⚽️
Rashford was in great from in Qatar, scoring just 49 seconds after coming off the bench in England’s opening win against Iran, before netting a brace in the final group game against Wales.
Since the end of the World Cup, the United talisman has been in sensational form for his club, scoring 10 goals in his last 10 appearances to propel Erik ten Hag’s side toward an unlikely title charge. ‘I think people are looking at his form post tournament as much as anything,’ the Three Lions boss told ITV News.
While Southgate has been England’s second-most successful manager in history, having guided them to the semi-finals of World Cup 2018 and final of Euro 2020, the failure to win in Qatar led many to question whether he was the right man for the job.
