Gareth Southgate has a difficult Decision to Make Over Rashford

The Manchester United forward scored a stunning goal in the 2-0 win over Costa Rica and now England Manager Gareth Southgate has said he has a difficult decision to make over who to start in the first game against Tunisia.

“It’s more difficult and we have some serious decisions to take, but in a good way. If I was thinking I have nobody to play here or there,it would be a very different situation. We asked the players to give us competition for places and they’ve done that,” Southgate said.

Southgate then went on to discuss Rashford’s performance induvidually: “For me at the end of the season he cares so much you can see he was trying too hard. I did say I expect to see mistakes, if you don’t then you aren’t trying too hard.

“The goal was world class but he’s teasing defenders – he was enjoying his football which is great to see. I’ve got 11 or 12 who are going to be difficult to leave out, that’s what I said to the players.”
