Man Utd striker Marcus Rashford willing to play in U21 Euros

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford is willing to play for England in this summer's U21 European Championship.

Rashford could now start Sunday's World Cup qualifier against Lithuania - ahead of which the forward expressed an openness to dropping back down to the U21s in the summer.

"It is up to the coaching staff and the managers to decide if I go to that," he said in an interview with BBC Radio 5 live and talkSPORT.

"But if I do go, I'll be approaching it with the same attitude as I do to the seniors. It is exciting times.

"Getting tournament experience is massive, as long as everything is aiming towards the long-term objective, we obviously want to be successful and win trophies.

"So whatever we have to do to get to that, whether it is going down to gain the experience, everyone is happy to do that."
