London: England interim manager Gareth Southgate recalled Manchester United duo Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard when he named his first squad in charge of the senior national side on Sunday.


The Old Trafford pair were both included for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Malta and Slovenia. This was the first England squad since former manager Sam Allardyce lost his post after just one game in charge following a sting operation.


Rashford and Lingard have become first-choice players during Jose Mourinho's first season as United manager. Rashford was left out when Allardyce named his one and only England squad, but a return looked likely when he was omitted from the Under-21 party announced earlier this week.

Former England defender Southgate also recalled Stoke's Glen Johnson, Southampton's Ryan Bertrand and Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain for the matches at home to Malta and away to Slovenia.
