Rashford models England's formalwear range for Euro 24 despite shortlist failure

Marcus Rashford has featured in the release of M&S' England formalwear range for Euro 2024 this summer - despite the Man United forward being left out of Gareth Southgate's squad.

Rashford has struggled this season, scoring just eight times in all competitions, while he has also been marred by disciplinary issues.

This culminated in the forward being omitted from Southgate's preliminary 33-man England group that was announced on Tuesday.

However, Rashford has made the M&S squad for England this summer after appearing with Aaron Ramsdale and Conor Gallagher in images of the formalwear the Three Lions will wear off the field in Germany.

The trio model the range which includes overshirts, blouson jackets, a quarter zip knit sweater and straight-leg trousers.

It is expected the shoot took place before Southgate's squad announcement, with Rashford having been a key member of the England boss' plans since he took the job in 2016, racking up 17 goals in 60 caps.

Rashford looked natural in the M&S release which is perhaps no surprise given the 26-year-old's previous experience in the fashion world.

In 2020, he appeared on the cover of Vogue, while he has also attended fashion shows and worked on an advertising campaign with Burberry.

England's casual off field clothing follows a recent change in trends. Traditionally, teams would wear suits at tournaments, such as at Euro 2020 when England were snapped in navy blue suits, but at the 2022 World Cup things became more relaxed.

In Qatar, their M&S range featured navy short trousers, casual jackets and cream knitwear.

Meanwhile, Southgate will name his final 27-man group on June 8, with a photo of England's squad wearing the M&S designs to be released on June 10.

Members of the public can purchase the formalwear range - which also sees a Three Lions England crest feature on the inside of jackets and overshirts - on the M&S website, and prices range from £40 to £60 for individual items.
