Marcus Rashford has saved his best performances for England rather than Manchester United this season but Friday night against Malta wasn’t one of them.
The forward was inhibited by what appears a lack of confidence due to a lack of goals at Old Trafford.
By the time he was replaced after an hour, limping after a collision with his own team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold, the 26-year-old will have realised he has a massive fight on his hands to keep a starting position for the Euros.
On the night Wembley paid its own tribute to 1966 World Cup hero Sir Bobby Charlton, it was fitting Rashford should be there to represent the attacking traditions of United.
