John Barnes urges Rashford to avoid World Cup 'shop window' and focus on England

Barcelona appear to have passed on a permanent deal, while the 28-year-old is reluctant to be absorbed back into the fold at Old Trafford. John Barnes warned Rashford against using the World Cup as a personal market or 'shop window', saying the forward must prioritise the team's needs.

“England needs to do well as a team. If he feels he wants to do well by himself, that's not going to help England. If he wants to make this a market or a shop window for himself, where he's going to say, ‘I'm going to get the ball, I'm going to dribble around players because I want to look good individually’ - that is not what's going to win the World Cup.

So him needing to do well for himself is not important. He needs to do well for England.” Barnes added that the key question is Rashford's attitude and commitment: “It depends on his attitude and his commitment. That has always been the issue with Marcus Rashford.
