Manchester United's Marcus Rashford earns England U20 call-up

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has been named in the England U20 squad for the game against Canada at the Keepmoat Stadium on 27 March.

However, the selection of Rashford for Keith Downing's squad suggests he remains a long shot to be called into the senior side for the Euro 2016 campaign.

The 18-year-old Rashford has made a big impact for United since he began to feature for the first team, scoring four goals in his first two appearances.

Having previously represented England at U16 and U18 levels, he has now been promoted to the U20 squad, but the fact he has yet to earn an U21 call-up suggests England boss Roy Hodgson will not rush him into the senior squad.

The Canada match in Doncaster is the first game as permanent boss of the England U20 side for Downing, who has masterminded wins over the Czech Republic, Holland and Turkey while in charge on a temporary basis.
