Marcus Rashford (born 31 October 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Manchester United and the England national team.
A Manchester United player from the age of seven, he scored two goals on both his first-team debut against Midtjylland in the UEFA Europa League in February 2016 and his Premier League debut against Arsenal three days later.
He also scored in his first Manchester derby match, his first EFL Cup match and his first UEFA Champions League match. With United, Rashford has so far won the FA Cup, EFL Cup, FA Community Shield and UEFA Europa League.
England manager Gareth Southgate has confirmed Marcus Rashford's uninspiring form was the sole reason behind his omission from the England provisional squad for the European Championship.
The United attacker has been left out of the 33-man squad that Southgate has named ahead of the tournament starting in Germany next month.
England will play two friendlies ahead of flying out to Germany and Southgate, on June 7, will be forced to reduce his squad size to 26 players.
He has made the decision to omit Rashford from his plans because of his struggles this season. It will mark the first major tournament he has played no part in for England since the 2014 World Cup.
