Will Manchester United ace Marcus Rashford be in England’s starting line up?
Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford was England’s most watched player on YouTube over the past year.
YouTube’s figures for 2017 analysed all players picked for the Russia 2018 squad and their video views by location.
Isolating the YouTube viewership of English based fans, Rashford is the Three Lions most watched player.
He is the fifth most viewed player overall by YouTube viewers in England, following Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and Paul Pogba.
Despite his popularity, Rashford is no guarantee to make the England starting line-up.
He made 17 Premier League starts this past season, coming off the bench 18 times in a disjointed season for the Manchester United striker.
He managed to score 13 goals in all competitions for his club, although the 20-year-old came up short in the FA Cup Final.
Many of Rashford’s opportunities came on the left wing and this could be his best option for England, with Harry Kane the clear first choice up front and the recently appointed team captain.
