Sven-Goran Eriksson believes Roy Hodgson should take a gamble on Marcus Rashford.

The 18-year-old Manchester United striker is in Hodgson's provisional 26-man squad for this summer's Euro2016 but former Three Lions boss Eriksson suggests he should be included in the final 23 as he provides a distinct point of difference with his pace and creativity.

"You should always take a gamble with a special player," the Swede told The Sun.

"As the England manager, you want options - players who can do something unexpected and make a difference.

"Rashford can be Roy's gamble. There is room in the squad for a wildcard player like that

"The other countries won't know much about Rashford and will not have faced him.

"He is unknown and unpredictable. The young man has done very well for Manchester United."
