Rashford Now A Different Player, Says Southgate

By Chimezie Nebolisa

England national team coach Gareth Southgate believes that forward Marcus Rashford has rediscovered his form following his impressive display against Wales on Tuesday.

The Manchester United striker scored a brace in the 3-0 victory.

Southgate said: “It’s been a challenge for him. I went and saw him in the summer, I had a long chat with him. He had some clear ideas on things he felt he needed to do. You can see with his club he’s been happy in his performances this year. I have to say that’s shown itself on the training ground with us. We have a different version completely to the player we had at the Euros. He’s managed to produce those moments tonight, he could have had a hat-trick. It’s great for him, it’s great for us.”
