Manchester United star Marcus Rashford missed out on the call up for Gareth Southgate's provisional England squad for the Euros this summer, much to the disappointment of fans. But the striker did get the call up to star in the official FA England menswear collection photoshoot at Marks & Spencer. Marcus poses alongside England footballers Connor Gallagher and Aaron Ramsdale (who did make the squad) in the new campaign.
Images released this week show a new "sports casual" approach to the official England attire that players will wear at the Euros this summer.

But the England manager has said this week in an interview with GQ that he hopes to create a more "relaxed" mood by wearing " short-sleeved knits" instead of more formal suit attire for the 2024 Euros.
M&S says the new 16-piece collection has been designed to "reflect a modern football team". It features "elevated, versatile tailoring classics and reimagined lounge-style separates" with a "smart, contemporary aesthetic, designed with easy styling in mind". It marks the second year of M&S' current three-year partnership with the FA, and a wider association that dates back to 2007, when M&S became the Official Suit Supplier to the England Senior Men’s Team.
The partnership with The FA continues to champion in-house designed collections across.
