Rashford, who made his debut for United in February, was one of five strikers selected by manager Roy Hodgson on Monday in an enlarged group for warm-up matches against Turkey, Australia and Portugal, before the tournament in France.

Winger Andros Townsend was called up after finishing the Premier League season well with relegated Newcastle.

Midfielders Jack Wilshere and Jordan Henderson were also picked after recently making their returns after injuries.

However, Arsenal winger Theo Walcott was left out after failing to start a match for his club since February. 

Senior England internationals Phil Jagielka, Leighton Baines and Michael Carrick were also omitted.

The inclusion of Rashford is the standout name with the teenager having only made his United debut 82 days ago. Despite his inexperience, Hogdson believes he can force his way into his final 23-man squad although he faces fierce competition in the striking department.
