Southgate Back Call Duo MU, Rashford And Sancho To The England National Team

JAKARTA - England coach Gareth Southgate has finally returned to summon Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho into his squad. The Manchester United (MU) duo was trusted to help the Three Lions on the UEFA Nations League schedule in a few weeks.

Southgate's decision to call Rashford and Sancho again was driven by the good performances of the two players recently. Both Rashford and Sancho performed impressively with United throughout the new season.

"Southgate gave the two players the opportunity to impress them ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar in November," the report said.

Rashford is known to have last defended his country in November 2021. Meanwhile, Sancho, in October of the same year.

Performa Rashford di MU jelas menunjukkan peningkatan, ia telah mencetak tiga gol dalam empat pertandingan yang sudah dijalani.

Whereas last season, the Red Devils' duo performance experienced a decline. Rashford recorded only five goals from 32 matches, while Sancho could not make a difference on the front lines of Manchester United.

This situation had put Sancho under pressure because United were willing to bring him a £73 million dowry from Borussia Dortmund. That means, Sancho must show performance according to the price.

Namun, sekarang, Sancho mulai mendapat kesempatan. Ia bisa menjadikan momen tampil di UEFA Nations League bersama Rashford sebagai pembukti. Three Lions dijadwalkan menjalani ketestahan Italia dan Jerman pada akhir September.
