England play Spain this evening, with Marcus Rashford set to continue upfront for the Three Lions. Marcus Rashford will look to make an impression for England tonight in their Nations League fixture in Spain. Rashford scored in the reverse fixture at Wembley last month, but has struggled to hold down a place in the Manchester United side all season. In contrast, he has started all three England games this campaign. David De Gea should feature for Spain, as reports yesterday suggested United are prepared to make him their highest earner in an attempt to secure his long term future at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, Romelu Lukaku raised eyebrows yesterday as he suggested he would be open to a transfer to Serie A in the future. He said: “Why not? I hope so. Juve have a great project in place and they just keep going. Every year they try to get stronger.” Manchester United have reportedly rebuffed claims that the Glazer family could sell the club to Mohammad bin Salman. Reports emerged on Monday morning suggesting the Saudi Arabian crown prince was interested in taking over the Old Trafford club, which the Glazers acquired for an estimated total of £800 million in 2005. United are thought to have rubbished the notion of its American owners selling up, with the Glazers understood to be adamant in their view that the club is not for sale irrespective of any amount offered.
Reports claimed that Crown Prince bin Salman, thought to be worth around £850 billion, wants to ‘take on’ Middle East rivals including the Abu Dhabi royal family, who own Manchester City. It was suggested that any offer for a controlling stake in United would have to amount to more than £3 billion. Marcus Rashford doubles the lead for England for England with a tidy finish that finds the bottom corner of David De Gea’s goal. Raheem Sterling had earlier opened the scoring for the Three Lions. It’s a big opportunity on England’s right flank for him this evening, but Marcus Rashford has been a victim of Spain’s superior possession in the opening exchanges in Seville.
