Folllowing a great start to the tournament, England have a point to prove against Senegal in the Qatar 2022 Round of 16. Considering that their World Cup aspirations will be on the line, many can’t believe Marcus Rashford is not starting.
The Manchester United striker has clearly been one of, if not the Three Lions‘ most impactful playerso far, being the team’s top scorer in the competition with three goals in as many games.
