I expect a grown man to behave and make decision like a grown man.Essentially you don't care what Rashford felt and wanted to do? And you don't think he should have been able to make the decision?
I'm not sure how you expected the club to deal with this. Tell him he can't go and must consent to an operation? One that we've been happy for him to delay in order to help us over the line in the PL. Then have a bust up with him for preventing him doing something he's always dreamed of doing for his country?
Rashford has gone above and beyond for us and wanted to go to the Euros. Fair play. We back him and it is what it is.
I expected him to be rational.
This isn't a new injury, or something that just came about. It's something that has hampered his game performance for over a year.
It's affecting your work performance - deal with it.
I also expected Southgate to be rational, "look Marcus, i prefer Sterling, Kane, Mount, Saka, Grealish and Sancho over you."
He did it to Greenwood didn't he?
Once you factor in all that, his decision to stay and "play" for England in the Euros is basicly down to, what you said - "being a part of a once in a lifetime experience".
And that's called not being rational.
Which is totally fine - he's a young lad.
Although he's showed that he is very considerate to the problems he's faced and is working hard to rectify them for others.
I'm not slating him by all means, and i do think very highly of him, that's probably why i think this could have been handeled better for all parties involved.
