Marcus Rashford form 'no surprise' to England U21s boss Gareth Southgate





Gareth Southgate is confident Marcus Rashford has given Sam Allardyce "food for thought" with his hat-trick for England's Under-21s on Tuesday night.
The Manchester United striker scored three times for Southgate's side as they hammered Norway 6-1 to move a step closer to Euro 2017.
England boss Allardyce watched from the stands in Colchester on Tuesday as Rashford scored twice before completing his hat-trick with a cool second-half penalty.

Premier League,Saturday 10th, 12:30pm
Manchester Utd v Manchester City

Rashford was left out of Allardyce's first senior squad for their 1-0 win in Slovakia on Sunday after playing at Euro 2016 and scoring on his debut against Australia in May.
He also scored the winner for United against Hull City in their most recent Premier League game and goes into Saturday's Manchester derby in strong goalscoring form.
England host Malta and go to Slovenia in their next World Cup Qualifiers next month while the U21s head to Kazakhstan and welcome Bosnia needing just a win to reach Euro 2017 and Southgate knows Rashford will be in Allardyce's thoughts.
"I'll speak to Sam in the next couple of days, I'm sure it's given him food for thought. But he'll be pleased with some of the performances of his players on Sunday," he said.

Arsenal’s Wenger concerned by Chinese spending power

Arsene Wenger fears the huge wages being offered by big-spending Chinese clubs could cause problems when the Premier League teams look to negotiate new contracts with their star players.  Wenger is currently locked in talks with Arsenal duo Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez as the pair reportedly seek parity with the best-paid players in the Premier League. The Arsenal manager is hoping for successful resolutions to those contract stand-offs, but he believes the money on offer in the China Super League may persuade the Premier League’s star names to ask for even bigger pay packets to stay in England. Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been linked with a move to China, with an offer of £600,000-per-week ($739,000) reportedly on the table for the Spain international. Two of his former Chelsea team-mates, Oscar and John Obi Mikel, have already moved to Super League outfits, while former Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez became the highest-earning player in the world when h...

Dozens of supporters chanting club songs swarmed the former Chelsea player at the city’s Pudong airport. Oscar’s arrival in the Chinese Super League comes ahead of that of Argentina’s former Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez, who signed for Shanghai Shenhua in another big-money deal last week.  Tevez’s transfer fee was 10.5 million euros, according to the website transfermarkt.com, which tracks dealings in the sport, though the reported two-year contract of 38 million euros per season ($40 million) makes him the world’s highest salaried footballer. SIPG’s general manager on Monday dismissed concerns raised by state media of a market bubble in the super-rich Chinese league, arguing prices have to be higher to attract players away from big European leagues. “The leagu...
