Having featured in over 50 games for Manchester United during the 2017-18 season, Rashford scored a stunning goal in Englands friendly win against Costa Rica on Friday.
On Rashfords display, Three Lions boss Southgate said: What pleased me most is that he enjoyed his football tonight.
He played with a real swagger, hes a Man United player and got booed at the start and cheered off at the end so that tells you about his performance. Im really pleased for him.
Asked whether he was sure of his starting XI for Englands first group match, Southgate added: I might sleep on it.
