Gareth Southgate insists he has no problem with Marcus Rashford’s decision to fly to New York after dropping out of the England squad.

Rashford has now missed five of England’s last six non-tournament internationals - and there were a few raised eyebrows when he posted a picture of himself on Instagram enjoying a break with his girlfriend on the other side of the Atlantic while his team-mates were battling for a place in Germany next summer.
