"?Former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp believes that young Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford is unlikely to play much, if at all, for England at Euro 2016, insisting that Roy Hodgson already has plenty of more senior options he can use first.
"In all honesty, I can't really see him playing," Redknapp told Sky Sports following the news that the 18-year-old sensation had been chosen for the final 23-man squad.
"I like him and he's going to be a real player in the future. But we've got (Harry) Kane, we've got (Jamie) Vardy, we've got (Daniel) Sturridge, we've got (Wayne) Rooney. I think [Roy Hodgson] has got a lot of options up front," the ex-West Ham, Portsmouth and Tottenham boss added.
Rashford has enjoyed a whirlwind few months since making his professional debut in February. The Old Trafford youngster scored 8 goals in 17 club appearances, including braces in each of his first two games.
As if the fairytale couldn't get any better, he then netted just over two minutes into his England debut last, grabbing his opportunity to impress Hodgson with both hands.
But Redknapp sees the 18-year-old being more of a Theo Walcott in 2006, than a Michael Owen in 1998 or a Rooney in 2004 in terms of playing time and impact.
"I wouldn't see Rashford getting a game and I'll be surprised if he gets too much, if any, games personally," he explained.
"It's a good squad of players and I like the look of the England squad at the moment. It's going to be an exciting tournament and I think we've got a real chance."
England play their final warm-up game at Wembley against Portugal on Thursday and then head to France where they will meet Russia in their opening group game in Marseille on 11th June.
