Media reaction
TNT Sports gave Rashford an eight out of 10 for his Saturday evening’s work.
They reported, “he came close to doubling England’s lead through his blocked shot inside six minutes.”
TNT Sports also depicted his match as “a dip of the shoulder and a sumptuous nutmeg on Zaire-Emery led to his swirling shot from range which had Mike Maignan scampering to save.”
When describing his role in the third goal they stated, he “was patient, having picked up the scraps from his own thwarted attempt to set up Saka selflessly as England added a third inside 37 minutes. A lively and impressive 45-minute cameo.”
The London Evening Standard were not so forthcoming in their praise but they gave Rashford a seven for his performance.
They explained that he “had one great effort from range which forced a good save and assisted Saka for the Arsenal man’s first goal.”
Finally, The Mirror agreed with the Standard’s assessment and also have him a seven out of ten.
The paper described Rashford’s contribution as he “looked more free and dangerous – and provided an assist for Saka. Subbed at half time.”
The winger will now take a holiday and return to Carrington with his long-term future still to be decided moving forward.
