Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford will have another score to settle when England take on holders France at the World Cup on Saturday night - and not because he was surprisingly omitted by Gareth Southgate for their last-16 victory over Senegal at the Al-Bayt Stadium on Monday night.
After scoring two goals against Wales as Group B played to a conclusion, Rashford was unable to retain his place in the starting XI with Bukayo Saka preferred. It was an eye-catching decision from Southgate but, in the end, his team got the job done as Jordan Henderson, Harry Kane and Saka himself scored.
Rashford was eventually summoned from the bench. With no need to repeat his group-stage heroics, the United Academy graduate was deployed on the right-hand side as England closed out victory, but things are about to be cranked up to another level still on Saturday night.
