Well, that and the League One level opposition.
That too, of course. But I stand by him being a better winger on both sides with a great striker.
There’s always one
Iran are ranked 20th in the world.
Wales are ranked 19th and we've got actual League One (and League Two) players getting minutes for us.
Here we go.
Maybe we can play Garnacho on the left and Rashford/Antony on the right?He certainly has found his level playing on the right
So happy for him, love this guy.
Always said it but he shows his superiority against lesser opposition more than most players I've seen. Makes it very easy to embarrass the opposing players which you'd expect, but he does more than most. Looked great today.

Despite his goal and his blocked shot, he still does not feel and probably will never feel natural there
Better than sterling
Took his goal really well. He needs to stop being played on the right though. Bizarre that fans appear to know more than managers at times.
If he shows his superiority against lesser opposition and also scores lots of goals in big games, you can't ask for much more.
Rashford you absolute beauty!! Our boy is back!
That’s the best I’ve seen him ever play on the right wing!
Better than the hat trick against Leipzig?
So Happy for him
So does Maguire, (not on the right though) he was culpable for Iran's first goal, but both looked a lot better in that environment, and I wish them both well for the rest of the tournament.
Should be him, Kane and Saka.
I would have said the same before the game but there’s just something about Sterling who always turns up for England. No matter how poor he’s playing at club level or little game time he’s getting, he always steps up at international level.
I don’t see Southgate dropping him or Saka at all for the rest of the tournament unless there’s an injury.
ETH weak foot training difference.
And there is possibly Southgate's problem I believe, he won't change his players, he'll stick with his tried and trusted team in every match, therefore opposing managers know exactly who and how we will play against them, so can set up their own team to exploit that.
I think we'll certainly go with a back three against stiffer opposition, and will become predictable as normal.
Actually scores a goal without trying to twat the ball into next week for once
Finally scored with his left foot and didn't try to force it to his right
He should get used to use his left foot more and be more versatile as a winger and a player

Having some sort of shooting threat on his left along with being comfortable attacking the ball in the air would take Rashford from a solid forward to a potential WC one
He equaled the tally of World Cup goals scored by Rooney, Scholes and Lingard
What gets me isn't that these players are played "out of position" so much. After all, every right footed winger these days seems to think they're a left winger more than a right. What gets me is you can have 2 such wingers e.g. Rashford and Sterling, Rashford and Sancho, and yet managers hardly ever seem to say to them, ok take it in turns then, swap for 10 mins 2 or 3 times in the game and see how you get on. It's a bit unfair forcing one to play "out of position" the whole time and knock their confidence a bit IMO. It's even more baffling in the 2 examples above when IMO both Sancho and Sterling actually tend to look better on the right and yet they'll almost exclusively play on the left.
I think the same thing to a lesser extent with inverted wingers in general. As an example Foden seems to always play on the right for Southgate but actually for City he plays both sides and I think he arguably looks more natural on the left as he's got a genuine threat down the outside but is still a threat cutting in because he has such good touch and finishing ability. I'm not saying he should never play on the right, but why not let him switch every now and again to see what's going to work best against that opposition.
Great freekick, great pressing for the second goal too.
God what a fecking goal.
Perfectly hit FK.
One of many United players having a great tournament, exciting future ahead if we can get a couple more quality additions and avoid a car crash takeover.
Stop writing him off you cnuts
Phenomenal work rate.
Agreed, but Dan James was a lot quicker against us a couple of weeks ago!
Rashy!!!!!
He can play on the right.
I can't understate my love for this lad

Love it!
Prime Thierry Henry right there.
All of a sudden, starter for United and England over anyone else. Proper player
For England he clearly cares enough to put in a shift there.
Anyway, good for him. Hope he keeps it up.
Starboy. United through and through
