After a successful campaign with the Red Devils last season, Rashford has found playtime hard to come by this season primarily due to the purchase of Ibrahimovic. He has failed to come off the bench in United's first two games of the ongoing campaign and Three Lions boss stressed last week that the young lad would be better served playing for the U-21s and that he might pay the price for lack of first team action. The U-21 boss has explained the decision to invite the striker.
“Last season, his pathway was remarkable and we’re very conscious of plotting how we develop our young players."
“We spoke a lot with Manchester United last season when we put him in the U20s in March, which both they and ourselves felt was the right thing at the time. He then continued his progress, which was great, and of course he played a part in Roy’s squad at the Euros."
“But if he’s less likely to start with the seniors at this moment in time, and Sam [Allardyce] is quite keen that people are playing regularly, we think that it’s now a good opportunity in his international development for him to be with the U21s.”
