Paul Merson is “shocked” that Gareth Southgate has chosen to leave out Man Utd forward Marcus Rashford from the England squad for Euro 2024.Rashford has been disappointing for Man Utd this season, scoring just eight goals in 42 appearances in all competitions, but he’s still played seven matches for England this season.
Reacting to the news, Arsenal legend Merson insists he’s only “shocked” by the news because Southgate usually picks his favourite players even “if they are out of form”.: “I think it’s huge news, huge breaking news. As you say 60 caps, been in tournaments, scores goals and you can rely on him. If it was any other time, you would probably say that it’s not a shock. But with Gareth, he picks people if they are out of form. He picks people even if they aren’t in their team. I am really shocked.
“I would have taken him. 100% I would have taken him. I don’t know if it’s anything to do with up here . I don’t know if Gareth has talked to him and that’s the reason. I don’t know what’s going on in the lad’s life. But as a player, he has played in tournaments before. It’s so important.
