Both Foden and Rashford were given starting football by Gareth Southgate in England’s final match in the 2022 World Cup group stage against Wales. This duo shined brightly to help the Three Lions win 3-0, thereby winning a ticket to the 1/8 round at the top of the group and will face Senegal.

After a deadlocked first half, Foden won a free kick and Rashford converted with a stunning shot. Less than 2 minutes later, Man City’s star scored himself, and Man United’s number 10 scored the third goal for the Three Lions, after a beautiful assist from another Man City player, Kalvin Phillips.

Foden said after the match: “Fortunately, I won the free kick and Marcus did the rest. He is definitely top 3 in the world in terms of kicking skills . If Marcus could get the ball in goal, he will get many goals.”

Rashford is currently ranked alongside Cody Gakpo, Kylian Mbappe and Enner Valencia as the top scorer at the World Cup, and Foden confirmed the Red Devils star’s importance to the Three Lions.

 “Marcus has great talent, he is unbelievable, ” Foden added. “Today you can see how important a role he will play for the team in the next stages. We will definitely need him.”
