Man United's Marcus Rashford open to playing for England Under-21s

Marcus Rashford would be keen to represent England Under-21s at this summer's European Championship if the powers that be decide that is best for his development.

In the 13 months since bursting onto the scene so remarkably, the 19-year-old has racked up 56 appearances for Manchester United, won seven caps and established himself as one of the country's most exciting talents.

Rashford was fast-tracked into Roy Hodgson's Euro 2016 squad and he could well be involved in continental competition again this summer, at the Under-21 European Championship in Poland.

The striker scored a hat trick on his one and only U21s appearance to date and would have been with the Young Lions rather than Gareth Southgate's senior side this week were it not for injuries to Harry Kane and Daniel Sturridge.
