What they're saying

"
Marcus Rashford finally got his chance to press his claim ahead of Barcelona's Anthony Gordon in England's World Cup win over Panama on Saturday and did enough to suggest Thomas Tuchel should keep faith with the Manchester United forward, who had a successful loan spell at Barca last season. Rashford was England's dangerman in the first half and also had opportunities after the break, although he was sometimes let down by a lack of support and some wayward finishing.
