​Man Utd striker Rashford sees England as potential World Cup winners

Marcus Rashford believes England are capable of winning the World Cup next summer, reports Sky Sports.

Currently ranked 15th in the world by FIFA, they have struggled at major tournaments for a number of years, but Rashford believes Gareth Southgate is building a squad that can compete for the top honours in Russia.

"We are doing our best to go there with a real plan and intensity to try and win the tournament," he said. "We are realistic, even with how we are playing against these teams in the qualifiers.

"But then we have to build our own plan once we get to the World Cup to try and win it."
