Plenty of England fans feel Marcus Rashford was criminally under-used at Euro 2016.
The Manchester United forward was a surprise inclusion in the squad, having only made his senior debut in February, but scored on his international bow against Australia.
He impressed in a 20-minute cameo as England came from behind to beat Wales – their only win of the tournament.
And many thought the teenager should have come on much earlier than the 86th minute as Roy Hodgson’s team bowed out with a whimper against Iceland in the round of 16.
Rashford’s skills caught the eye even in that short run-out – he dribbled past more players in just a couple of minutes than anyone else managed in the full 90 – and he’s been showing off his skills again out in Dubai.
He has been filmed showing off his abilities in the gym, and it looks so effortless.

Experience isn’t everything in a major tournament, and sometimes a lack of pressure and expectation can help unlikely players flourish.
You just need to look at the club makeup of the players left in the tournament to see that.
We wonder how much Hodgson regrets not giving his young starlet more of a chance to shine in France.
