Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford believes that England manager Gareth Southgate has his best interests at heart and does not feel that he has been brought into the senior set-up too quickly, the 19-year-old has said.
Rashford, who has eight caps for England, was scheduled to play in the U-21 European Championships in June, a decision United manager Jose Mourinho said โmade no senseโ.
Southgate has included Rashford in the senior squad for Saturdayโs World Cup qualifier against Scotland and a friendly against France on June 13.
โHe has had to think about whatโs best for England and for me as a player,โ Rashford said. โIโm happy to be with the seniors and to continue my development. Itโs important to be on the same page.
โItโs something you look forward to, being selected for your country โฆ Whatever age group youโre called upon itโs important you have a mindset where youโre going to achieve great things.
โTo me itโs not being fast-tracked. Thereโs been a lot of games; England and United have dealt with it in a positive way.โ
