England manager, Gareth Southgate warned Marcus Rashford that he has to ‘battle’ and work hard to secure his place in the squad for the Euro 2024 tournament.

Southgate emphasized that Rashford has stiff competition from rising stars such as Anthony Gordon, Cole Palmer and Phil Foden, and must continue to perform consistently.

Rashford has had a challenging season with only seven goals in 34 appearances for Manchester United but has still been included in England’s latest 25-man squad for the warm-up friendlies against Brazil and Belgium.

Southgate has expressed his confidence in Rashford’s ability and expects him to raise his performance ahead of the Euros.

“He has a battle on his hands with Gordon, with Palmer, with Foden, so we’ve got big competition for places in that area,” Southgate said as quoted by Metro UK.
