Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is reportedly not going to be part of England’s Euro 2024 provisional squad after enduring a challenging season with the Red Devils.
According to The Athletic, Gareth Southgate has decided to leave Rashford out of his 30-man provisional squad for the European Championship in Germany, which begins next month. The 26-year-old forward has had a tough time at United this season, managing to score only eight goals across all competitions. This poor performance seems to have cost him a place in the national team for another major tournament.
Southgate must reduce his squad to 26 players by June 7, the final UEFA deadline. Although Rashford won’t make the cut, his Manchester United teammate Kobbie Mainoo is expected to be included on the provisional list, along with Manchester City’s Jack Grealish. England has a lot of depth in midfield and wide positions, which makes the competition for places extremely tough.
Rashford has been a key player for England, scoring 17 goals in 60 appearances since his debut in 2016. He was part of the squad that reached the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup, scoring three goals in the tournament. Despite his past contributions, his recent form at Manchester United has seen him lose his place in the national team pecking order.
Rashford’s contract with Manchester United runs until 2028. However, there are rumors that the club might consider selling him if the right offer comes along, with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly interested. For now, Rashford will focus on finishing the season strong. Manchester United is set to face Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday, and Rashford will hope to play a significant role in that match.
This season has been particularly difficult for Rashford, but he will be determined to bounce back and reclaim his spot in the England squad. His talent and previous performances indicate he can still be an important player for Manchester United and the national team. Fans of Manchester United will be eager to see Rashford return to his best form soon.
