Man Utd star ​Rashford warns rivals: England aren't scared of anyone

England striker Marcus Rashford says they fear no one as they prepare for a gigantic group stage clash against Scotland.

The two bitter rivals will go head to head at Euro 2020 on Friday, with England hoping to make it two wins out of two in the group stages.

Following an opening game success against Croatia, Rashford and his teammates are full of confidence.

"We are not scared of any team," Rashford said, per the Evening Standard.

"Are there teams that have played well and impressed us? Yeah, definitely. There have been some strong performances, some performances that make you sit back and enjoy the game.

"If we are going to win the tournament we are going to have to play against the best teams. We want to look forward to those games. We don't want to be scared of playing against these teams.

"Since Russia, we have exposed ourselves to more of these big games against the best teams, the biggest nations and some of the best players in the world and we've managed to deal with it and win a lot more of the games than before the World Cup.

"We've managed to show ourselves better in the bigger games since the World Cup."Before the World Cup, we were struggling to get results against the big teams. We'd play well in some games and they'd maybe just edge us 2-1 or 1-0.

"After the World Cup, we've managed to get some better results and played some of our best football.

"We're definitely not scared of those teams, we are looking forward to getting the opportunity to play in big games."
