ToggleWHAT HAPPENED?
Rashford's poor 2023/24 season with Manchester United meant he was left out of the Three Lions' selection with the likes of Eberechi Eze, Cole Palmer and Ivan Toney selected ahead of him despite his experience with international tournaments.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The Three Lions' start to the Euros has been less than optimal as they struggled to a 1-0 win over Serbia in their opener and fell to a 1-1 draw against Denmark on Thursday. Rashford's brother, Dwaine Maynard, who also plays the role of his footballing agent, has now fired shots at Southgate for failing to select the Red Devils winger.

WHAT MAYNARD SAID
Following the disappointing Denmark game, Maynard posted the following message on his social media: "It's hard to sit and watch when you honestly believe your man could make a difference."

WHAT NEXT FOR ENGLAND?
It is obvious Maynard was hinting towards the omission of Rashford from the 26-man squad, however, Southgate will have no options but to contend with the squad he has available when they take on Slovenia on June 25 in their final group stage match.
