Jordan Henderson impressed by Marcus Rashford

Henderson impressed by Marcus Rashford

England midfielder Jordan Henderson has admitted that he has been impressed by Marcus Rashford since the striker joined up with the national team.

Rashford was among a group of Manchester United players to arrive late to Roy Hodgson's 26-man squad due to their involvement in the FA Cup final, but the 18-year-old is expected to make his international debut against Australia on Friday.

It will be the latest step in a remarkable rise for the youngster, who only made his club debut three months ago, but Henderson warned of the importance of keeping grounded.

"He's only trained a couple of days, he's been very good," the Liverpool captain told reporters.

"He's still very young, in training he's settling in very well. His finishing looked very good. He's a great player with a lot of potential but at the same time he needs to keep his feet on the floor."

Rashford will be hoping to be part of Hodgson's final 23-man squad for Euro 2016, which must be named by May 31.
