When Alan Shearer talks about England’s attack, people listen. The country’s all-time leading international goalscorer, with 30 goals for the Three Lions, has called for Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford to start against Panama.
Saka, the Arsenal winger, has become one of England’s most reliable attacking outlets in recent international cycles.
Rashford, representing Manchester United, brings pace and a left-foot threat. His free-kick against Wales at the 2022 World Cup is still cited as one of the sharper individual moments from an England squad in recent memory.
The pairing of Saka and Rashford gives England width on both sides of the pitch, with Saka typically operating on the right and Rashford on the left. That width stretches defenses and creates space centrally for whoever leads the line.
