England boss Gareth Southgate has included two Man United players in his squad for the upcoming international break.
Gareth Southgate picked his words carefully when he was asked about Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood and he said he wasn't currently a consideration for England because he isn't playing football.
The forward is set to play elsewhere and Southgate was asked about his future at his England press conference on Thursday."It's clearly a very complex case and at the moment, he isn't playing football, so it's not a consideration for us," Southgate said. Southgate named Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford in his England squad for upcoming international games against Ukraine and Scotland and the inclusion of the centre-back has been questioned due to his lack of game time.
"With Harry Maguire, we've lost a lot of experienced players in terms of caps at centre half, so we're giving some less experienced players the opportunity to come into the squad," Southgate said.
