Rashford struggling to take it all in

09 June 2016 15:23
This season saw Rashford go from Manchester United’s reserves to a key first-team member – scoring eight goals in 18 appearances. But the 18-year-old striker didn’t stop there as he went on to find the back of the net just three minutes into his England debut in a 2-1 win over Australia last month. 

Roy Hodgson is clearly a fan and just four months after making his Red Devils debut Rashford was included in the 23-man England squad for Euro 2016. And the teenage sensation has been pinching himself ever since. 

"At Christmas, I was trying to work my way into United's Under-21s side," he said. 

"To be here now is just amazing. "It doesn't seem real, when you look back at it. 

"I wasn't really thinking about the England set-up as much because at United there were a lot of games coming thick and fast, so all of my focus was on those games. 

"When I first went into the England changing room and saw all of the players' names on the back of their shirts, it didn't seem real. "I tried not to think about it too much because that's probably where the pressure and stuff starts to get to people's heads and affect their performance."
