Marcus Rashford's Man United, England career is at a crossroads. Something needs to change for him

If Marcus Rashford ever needed his deteriorating situation with Manchester United and England to be put into sharp focus, he surely got that in the space of 24 hours this weekend.

On Friday, the 24-year-old saw England's route to World Cup glory in Qatar mapped out following the draw which gave Gareth Southgate's team a favourable path to the latter stages of the competition. Having been overlooked for England's squad for the recent friendlies against Switzerland and Ivory Coast, Rashford will know he now has to fight his way back into Southgate's plans before the World Cup starts in November, but having been a central figure in the team which reached the semifinals at Russia 2018, he will undoubtedly picture himself being back in the fold before the squad fly out to Qatar.
