In this game, Rashford was selected for England's starting lineup against Andorra. Rashford is playing for Barcelona on loan, and he is the only "Manchester United player" to be called on in Tuchel's latest roster.
Before this game, Rashford's last start for England dates back to the 3-0 victory over Latvia on March 24, 2015.
When faced Andorra, Rashford got another chance to prove himself to Tuchel. Despite England's successful victory, Rashford failed to show his influence. Although he broke through the Andorra full-back twice in the opening stage and broke into the penalty area, Rashford's overall performance was silent throughout the first half.
In the 16th minute, Rashford stepped forward but failed to stop Rice's pass. In the 49th minute, Rashford missed a great scoring opportunity, and he had enough time to complete the shot. Maduaike passed the ball after passing two Andorra defensive players, and Eze's shot was saved, but Rashford missed the ball when he made a follow-up shot. In the 68th minute of the game, Tuchel replaced Rashford with Gordon.
In this game, Rashford shot once, scored, assisted and created opportunities were 0, and the pass success rate was 77% (24/31).
fans commented on Rashford's performance on social media:
Fan A: "Rashford is a pure speculator."
Fan B: "What else can Rashford fans say now?"
Fan C: "Rashford is not suitable for the English system at all.
"If he were allowed to serve as an internal striker, with the left back who supported the side and Kane who retreated, he would have shined.
"But as a wing organizer, the cross quality is insufficient and the intrusion cannot be cut in, which was originally his advantage."
Fan D: "The halo after leaving Manchester United has not yet come to Rashford."
Fan E: "How did Rashford enter the English roster 😂😂😂😂"
