Rashford drops down to England Under-21 squad

Sam Allardyce will not select Manchester United's Marcus Rashford in his first England squad after he dropped into the Under-21s.

Marcus Rashford has been named in Gareth Southgate's England Under-21 squad, meaning he will miss out on Sam Allardyce's first senior selection.

The Manchester United forward scored on his England debut against Australia ahead of Euro 2016 after a breakthrough campaign at Old Trafford and was then one of few players to emerge with any credit from the tournament under Roy Hodgson.

However, following Zlatan Ibrahimovic's close-season arrival, Rashford is yet to be handed a Premier League appearance by United boss Jose Mourinho this season.
