5th: Marcus Rashford

When Marcus Rashford continues to keep performing on the biggest stage as he does, you forget he is only 21. But his temperament and maturity would make you think otherwise.

This year’s World Cup was Rashford’s first and second major tournament overall after being included in Roy Hodgson’s 23-man squad for the Euros in France in 2016.

And despite having to settle for cameo appearances off the bench in Russia this year, it was a fifty-fifty call between him and Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling. Perhaps had Southgate gone with Rashford from the start England may have scored a lot more goals than they did.

But since the summer Rashford has kicked on another level, nailing down a spot in the England starting XI after his starring role in the famous 3-2 win in Spain last month.
