After his double in England’s 3-0 win over Wales, Marcus Rashford was described by Gareth Southgate as a “different player” to the one that he took to the Euros.
The attacker is the Three Lions’ top scorer in the World Cup with three goals to his name after also bagging one in the 6-2 thumping of Iran. As a result, many are tipping him to start the last 16 clash with African champions Senegal on Sunday.
It’s quite a remarkable turnaround for a player who Alan Shearer said was acting like “everything was a chore” in January. There’s no doubt Rashford was one of the players who was hit hardest by last season’s woes.
