Manchester United had one player involved in the bronze medal match at the World Cup.

Kobbie Mainoo reportedly injured his back in training before the match and was not even on the bench for the tie against France.

Marcus Rashford

got the nod from Thomas Tuchel and started on the left wing.

The English forward’s future is still very much up in the air as his

release clause

has expired, with nobody offering the required amount.

The 28-year-old is expected to return to

pre-season training

with

Manchester United

after his holiday, and boss Michael Carrick is said to be open to working with him.

Rashford only played the first 45 minutes of England’s outrageous 6-4 win over France to claim the

bronze medal

Nonetheless, within these 45 minutes, England raced into a 4-0 lead at half-time, where Rashford was heavily involved.

His biggest contribution was a clever assist for Bukayo Saka, when he kept his cool in the penalty area to pick out the Arsenal winger before he scored his opening goal.

Rashford also missed a one-on-one chance and produced a stunning piece of skill to set himself up for a long-distance pile driver that was well stopped by Mike Maignan.

In the match, he had one assist and completed

three key passes

The winger also completed 90% of his passes but could not connect with either of his crossing attempts.

Rashford was a real threat down the wing and completed two of his three dribble attempts successfully, not giving the French full-back time to rest.

He made three progressive carries but also put in a bit of a shift defensively, winning two ground duels.
