Louis van Gaal: Stop putting pressure on Marcus Rashford

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal does not believe inexperience should prevent breakthrough star Marcus Rashford from securing a surprise, late place in England’s Euro 2016 squad.

The 18-year-old has swiftly risen from unknown to an Old Trafford favourite, having followed-up a debut brace against FC Midtjylland in the Europa League with another double during an even better performance at home to Arsenal.

Rashford produced another solid display as United eked out a 1-0 win against Watford in midweek - just the third senior appearance of his career, but a match followed by talk of a Euro 2016 place.
