Just over two hours after Gareth Southgate learned who England's group-stage opponents will be at Euro 2024 next summer, what promises to be one of his major selection issues was put into sharp focus at St James' Park.
Anthony Gordon didn't just score the winner as tNewcastle beat Manchester United, in partnership with Tino Livramento he was also responsible for taking the visitors apart down the hosts' left flank, a status that lasted most of the game.
It did not go unnoticed that one of the reasons for this was the difficulty Marcus Rashford was experiencing after being switched from his preferred left side to the right, to accommodate Alejandro Garnacho.
