s outhgate eye

on henderson

By John Cross

GARETH SOUTHGATE is keen to look

at Dean Henderson ahead of Euro

2020 as pressure mounts on England

No.1 Jordan Pickford.

England boss Southgate (above),

who will be at today’s Nations League

draw in Amsterdam, has been loyal to

Everton keeper Pickford and it would

seem unlikely he will make a change

just three months ahead of Euro 2020.

But Pickford was criticised over

Bruno Fernandes’s equaliser for

Manchester United on Sunday.

Former Under-21 keeper Henderson,

on loan at Sheffield United from

Manchester United, has been in

outstanding form, and this month’s

friendlies against Italy and Denmark

would provide the opportunity to give

him a full senior debut.

r shford reveals his 2020s vision.. to wina

world Cup and the Champions League

MARCUS RAShfoRd

has set himself a 10-year

target of winning the

Champions League and

World Cup.

Rashford is currently

sidelined with a double

stress fracture in his back,

but is expected to return

before the end of the season

and be fit for Euro 2020.

The Manchester United

striker has already won the

FA Cup, League Cup and

Europa League, but has his

sights set on bigger

prizes. And top of

the England star’s

wish-list are the

Champions League

and World Cup.

Un i t e d h av e

recovered from

their worst league

start for 30 years

and are firmly in

the hunt for a

Champions League

spot. Rashford feels

Ole Gunnar

Solskjaer’s side are

moving in the right

direction and are

on course to recapture the

glory days they enjoyed

under former boss Sir Alex

Ferguson.

Asked to outline his

ambitions for the next

decade, Rashford replied:

“To win the World Cup and,

for United, to win the

Champions League.

“We need to start showing

signs that we can be the

United of old.

“It’s been difficult, but it’s

a period of transition. I don’t

see why we can’t turn things

around and really improve.”

Rashford reached a

career-best tally of 19 goals

by mid-January before

succumbing to injury.

The 22-year-old already

has 64 goals from 201 United

appearances, but claimed

Wayne Rooney’s all-time

club record of 253 is not in

his thoughts just yet.

Rashford said: “If you’re

playing your best, then

whatever happens, happens.

“If I was to get that record

but we go into the next

decade with no trophies,

that’s not going to be the

greatest feeling for me.

“If I don’t get the record

but we get loads of

trophies and some-

thing to look back

on, that’s the most

important thing.”

And Rashford is

keen to secure

legendary status at

United – like Rooney.

“When you join

United, you don’t

only dream of

making your debut

• you dream of being
  like Beckham,
  Scholes and Giggs.
  It’s part of the dream
  as an academy lad.”

By david mcdonnell

BRUNO FERNANDES says Manchester

United must raise their game if they are to

secure a Champions League place.

Fernandes (above), who scored his third

goal in as many games in Sunday’s 1-1 draw

at Everton, said: “We can do better. We

need to win games, because we want a

place in the Champions League. I think in

the next games we will be much better.”

United visit Derby in the FA Cup fifth

round on Thursday, then host rivals

Manchester City in the league on Sunday.
