Marcus Rashford scored in England's 4-2 World Cup win over Croatia on June 18. The Manchester United-owned forward is looking to impress ahead of the summer transfer window.
What next for Rashford?
Rashford's future is uncertain, with various landing spots speculated in the Premier League and across Europe.
He had a successful loan spell at Barcelona in 2025-26, scoring 14 goals and winning La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup. However, Barcelona opted not to sign him permanently, instead investing in Anthony Gordon.
Is Rashford trying to catch the eye of a new club?
Rashford will be eager to impress while on World Cup duty, both for England's collective cause and his own personal benefit. Former England player John Barnes said Rashford needs to focus on helping the team rather than trying to put himself in the shop window.
Barnes told GOAL: “If he wants to make this a market or a shop window for himself, where he's going to say, ‘I'm going to get the ball, I'm going to dribble around players because I want to look good individually’ - that is not what's going to win the World Cup.”
Rashford on target for England
Rashford and England made a perfect start to the World Cup, with a 4-2 win over Croatia. Harry Kane scored a brace, taking his international goal tally to 81, while Jude Bellingham also netted.
The win was a significant result for England, who are looking to make a strong impression in the tournament. Rashford's goal was a notable moment in the match, and he will be looking to build on this performance in the coming games.
What comes next for Rashford and England?
Rashford's future is still uncertain, but for now, he is focused on helping England succeed in the World Cup. With the summer transfer window open, Rashford's performances will be closely watched by potential suitors.
Michael Carrick, the Manchester United manager, is open to offering Rashford a clean slate, but it remains to be seen whether Rashford will stay at the club. Rashford's attitude and commitment have been questioned in the past, but he has the talent to make a significant impact on the pitch.
England's next match will be a crucial test for Rashford and the team, as they look to build on their winning start to the tournament. With the World Cup providing a platform for Rashford to showcase his skills, he will be looking to make the most of this opportunity and secure his future in the football world.
