THE BIGGER PICTURE: There were doubts whether Rashford would even make the England World Cup squad back in September but he’s hit form at the right time. The striker scored eight times for Manchester United ahead of the tournament in Qatar and seems to have brought that form into the World Cup.

WHAT NEXT FOR RASHFORD? The striker will be hoping for more minutes on Friday when Gareth Southgate’s side take on the USMNT on Friday in Group B.
