Manchester United and Barcelona player Marcus Rashford made his presence felt during the international break after his stunning impact for England against Serbia.
Marcus Rashford has been able to climb back into the England international team under manager Thomas Tuchel after reviving his career at Aston Villa last season.
The Manchester United player, who is on loan at Barcelona, was called up for the Three Lions’ World Cup qualifiers during the September international break.
Rashford started for England against Andorra on Saturday and the 27-year-old played 68 minutes before he was hooked off in the 2-0 Group K win at Villa Park.
The encounter with Andorra was the Three Lions’ first of two World Cup qualifiers during the September break, with England back in action against Serbia on Tuesday.

Marcus Rashford had to settle for a place on the bench and England boss Tuchel turned to the Barcelona attacker in the second half of the contest in Belgrade.
The United player replaced Anthony Gordon in the 69th minute and Rashford capped off England’s 5-0 steamrolling with his superb 90th-minute penalty against Serbia.
Former England and Tottenham player Paul Robinson highlighted that Rashford showed one of two “trademark” details when he produced a “no-look” penalty.
“The trademark no-look penalty from Marcus Rashford as he waits for the goalkeeper to go,” he said on BBC Radio 5 Live, as per BBC Sport.
Before Rashford netted from the spot-kick at the Rajko Mitic Stadium, Paul Robinson spotlighted that the England international showed another “trademark” feature.
“Marcus Rashford has come on and that’s his trademark move,” he said.
“Cuts in on the 18-yard box, but it was a decent height for the goalkeeper.”

Tuchel, who succeeded Sir Gareth Southgate as England’s long-term replacement, has shown that Rashford fits into his plans for their 2026 World Cup ambitions.
Rashford signed for Barcelona on loan in the summer window and the former Aston Villa forward will spend the entire 2025-26 La Liga campaign at the Camp Nou.
The Barcelona player had wanted a ‘dream’ move to the Camp Nou in the summer after Ruben Amorim had axed Rashford from his plans in the 2024-25 campaign.
