'Tremendous' Man Utd striker Rashford has mentality to improve - Southgate

England boss Gareth Southgate says Marcus Rashford has a bright future at Manchester United.

The 21-year-old has been in scintillating form of late, having scored five goals in his last six games.

And Southgate is happy to have the striker to pick for his England squad.

"Given that he's only 21, he will definitely continue to improve," the England boss said.

"When you have a mindset like he has and a desire to be as good as he wants to be, then that will happen.

"He's a tremendous talent, we've known that for a long time and with us, he's scored three goals in the period after the World Cup.

"And he's showing great signs with his club of maturing and getting stronger and playing with the belief - and that is so important for young players."
