Southgate: Man Utd striker Rashford must know with big bucks comes big pressure

England manager Gareth Southgate is taking a tough love approach with Marcus Rashford.

With Euro 2024 coming up, Southgate has warned under-fire striker Rashford about his form.

The attacker has not been at his best this season, scoring only ONE goal for Manchester United in all competitions.

Rashford is in the England squad, despite his struggles in front of goal and a red card in Man United's Champions League game against FC Copenhagen on Wednesday.

On Rashford, Southgate stated: “In the end — and respectfully — with the big bucks, comes the big pressure.

“He is the guy that got all the goals last year."

And Southgate added: “Here we've been able to share the goals around and maybe there's less emphasis on just one person which I think helps them all.

“I'm sure even Harry [Kane] is not thinking I've got to be the one to score.

“Maybe with [Rasmus] Hojlund scoring now at United, that will help but you know over a period of time Marcus has scored goals so that's going to happen again.

“It's just a case of getting a couple and then he'll be off and running."
