Rashford relaxed over England place following Man Utd heroics

The Red Devils forward staked his World Cup claim with two goals against Liverpool, but insists he was unaware that Gareth Southgate was watching

Match-winner Marcus Rashford claims he is relaxed about his England place after marking his return to the Manchester United starting XI in style on Saturday.

In the line-up for the first time since Boxing Day, Rashford scored a first-half brace to help Jose Mourinho's side edge past bitter rivals Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford.

The 20-year-old ended a run of 10 Premier League matches without a goal in front of the watching England manager Gareth Southgate and admits he was never concerned about his chances of making the World Cup squad during his spell on the sidelines.
