There’s youth in Myles Lewis-Skelly and experience in Jordan Henderson, but worries remain about midfield and can the desired style of play work in high temperatures?
There is logic to Thomas Tuchel rewarding Marcus Rashford’s encouraging displays since joining Aston Villa by bringing him back into the fold. The forward is devastating on his day and England missed his ability to charge behind defences at Euro 2024. Equally, Rashford has only himself to blame for being cut by Gareth Southgate. The 27-year-old’s resurgence at Villa is not a great look for Ruben Amorim and Manchester United, but his England return came with a warning from Tuchel. Expanding on what he meant about Rashford not falling back into “old routines”, Tuchel stressed the importance of work off the ball.
