Would happily see Rashford do the same, even though I want England to do well. Just feels he needs a rest and a chance to recover, even more than Mason.
Makes you wonder what sort of performances we can expect from him when entirely injury free (see also Marcus Rashford)Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood has withdrawn from the provisional England Euro 2020 squad, in order to recover fully from an underlying injury that also kept him out of the Under-21 European Championship in March," a club statement said.
"Mason's club appearances were managed carefully to maintain his availability through the intensive 2020/21 Premier League and Europa League schedules. But a further spell of tournament football would not be beneficial and Mason will remain at Manchester United to recuperate and prepare for pre-season training."
Absolutely, Rashford has looked to be carrying injuries all season.Would happily see Rashford do the same, even though I want England to do well. Just feels he needs a rest and a chance to recover, even more than Mason.
I do think the same. Career wise it's a very reasonable decision by Mason.Would happily see Rashford do the same, even though I want England to do well. Just feels he needs a rest and a chance to recover, even more than Mason.
This, 100%.I'd be quite happy for none of our main players to go to the Euros this summer, they all desperately need rest. This will be great for us, Mason will get a summer off and a proper preseason to hit the ground running next season.
It really has been an insane season year hasn't it. It's amazing how fit these guys are nowadays.Very good call from him. The amount of games we've played in the past year is insane. Pretty much in 11 months, United alone has played 75 competitive matches, with 2 of those going the full 120 minutes, and then 1 friendly against Villa, and then England national team (and likely the others) have played 11 international games in that time). So essentially, that's almost 87 games worth of minutes between June 19th 2020 and May 26th 2021. Game every 3.96 days for almost a full year, and the majority of our squad has had to deal with the full load (whether they should have been rotated is another matter), but the likes of Bruno, Maguire, Rashford and Pogba especially will need an extended break and could do with skipping the Euros, though they never will. So to account for that they should probably take July and August off and come back slowly in September.
Probably pulled a groin on the last England get together
Who else are the others? Except for AWB ,Fred Cavani and Greenwood, pretty much everyone is going anyway?I'd be quite happy for none of our main players to go to the Euros this summer, they all desperately need rest.

Why would anyone bother with that? It was always debatable whether he was going to be selected or not.Call me cynical but sounds like a PR exercise after he was quietly told he'd be dropped. Why wait till squad announcement day? Anyway annoying as a England fan but can hardly complain as a United fan.
Not for a couple of seasons unfortunately! Euros this summer between June and July, next season kicks off a month later on August 14th until May 22nd. Normal enough schedule however the 22/23 season will likely start earlier I'd imagine so there will be a much smaller gap between seasons, due to the World Cup being from mid November to late December in Qatar in 2022. So an earlier start (mid July probably) combined with a late finish (mid June probably), which means 23/24 will either get delayed or not enough of a pre season.It really has been an insane season year hasn't it. It's amazing how fit these guys are nowadays.
The likes of Maguire and AWB especially really deserve credit for their insane records. Any future season will feel like a walk in the park.
With a bit of luck Maguire will miss it, it's feasible Rashford will too as he's been playing injured all season. I imagine Shaw will go, but hopefully Chilwell gets played over him after the CL final which means less exertion.Who else are the others? Except for AWB ,Fred Cavani and Greenwood, pretty much everyone is going anyway?
People keep saying that, but cant justify it.Southgate treated him after the Iceland incident was poor.
England had him in press conferences answering questions about Maguire's arrest. There's a reason why United have protected him and kept him away from the media as much as possible. Southgate threw him under the bus.People keep saying that, but cant justify it.
