England boss says Rashford missing a 'wow' performance for Three Lions

The United loanee was named in the starting XI for the Three Lions against Andorra in the World Cup qualifier on Saturday evening.

However, he struggled to make too much of an impact against the back five of Andorra.

The forward was the first player taken off the pitch by Tuchel in the second half when he was replaced by Anthony Gordon in the 68th minute.

Rashford will now have a fight on his hands to retain a place in the starting XI for tomorrow night's qualifier against Serbia.

The game for England comes with Rashford having to fight for his place in the Barcelona lineup. His one start so far this season saw him withdrawn at halftime.

There are now even some reports in Spain that Barcelona are considering ending the loan spell early when the January window opens.
