Rashford's goal for Man United against Burton Albion
That is the view of former England and Arsenal forward Ian Wright.
The Three Lions qualified for next year’s World Cup in Russia by beating Slovenia at Wembley last Thursday.
The 1-0 win was far from convincing though, with Harry Kane scoring the only goal in second-half stoppage time.
Since that game, manager Gareth Southgate admitted his side are a long way from being world beaters and that the hype should not be built up ahead of next year’s tournament.

Ian Wright on England and Man Utd star Marcus Rashford
Wright feels that is an honest assumption but he just wants to see England put in a positive performance, like Manchester United star Rashford has been doing in the qualification stage.
“I think he’s been quite honest with them,” Wright said on ITV of Southgate.
“I personally feel that what he should be trying to concentrate on now with England now we’re there is to pass the ball forward more. Players are playing with fear.
“We’re talking about a kind of generation of players that from academy all the way up to first-team, there’s hardly any pressure put on them.
