Marcus Rashford has been left out of England’s squad for Euro 2024.
The 26-year-old forward has had a lackluster season at Manchester United, scoring only eight goals in all competitions under Erik ten Hag.
His decline in form has seen Alejandro Garnacho preferred on the left wing in recent weeks. Additionally, Rashford has been plagued by several injury issues throughout the campaign.
Since his debut in May 2016, Rashford has earned 60 caps and scored 17 goals for England.
Despite his previous performances, including being a standout player at the 2022 Qatar World Cup where he scored three goals in five games, his recent struggles have impacted his selection.
Gareth Southgate is set to announce an expanded preliminary squad for the tournament in Germany at 2pm BST this afternoon, which will be trimmed to 26 players before the UEFA deadline on June 7. England’s campaign kicks off against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen on June 16.
While Manchester United is open to selling Rashford if a significant offer is made and he expresses a desire to leave, they are not actively seeking to offload him. The club prefers to retain him and help him regain his previous form.
Rashford signed a new five-year contract at Old Trafford last July, extending his stay until June 2028. This extension followed his most prolific scoring season, where he netted 30 goals in 56 matches across all competitions.
