Dwaine Maynard, the brother of Manchester United star Marcus Rashford, has blown hot on social media, over his brother’s exclusion from England’s squad for Euro 2024.
Maynard took to his Instagram story to express that his brother could have been influential for the Three Lions in both matches.
Gareth Southgate’s side defeated Serbia 1-0 in their opening game of the 2024 European Championship, before playing out a 1-1 draw with Denmark in their second group affair.
They have been criticized heavily for their showing in both games, with manager Southgate being the recipient of most of the bashing.
Gareth Southgate has been lambasted for his inability to get the perceived star-studded English team to play stellar football, with players like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Phil Foden said to be playing below-par due to several factors.
Several football enthusiasts are discontent with Southgate’s style of play, indicating that it is hindering the players from delivering their best.
Dwaine Maynard shared that it’s difficult to sit and watch England’s display so far at the tournament when his brother could have been impactful to the 2020 European Championship runner-up.
He said: “It’s hard to sit and watch when you honestly believe your man could make a difference!”
Is Dwaine Maynard Rashford’s Agent?
Dwaine Maynard, alongside being Rashford’s brother, is also the agent of the Manchester United man.
Rashford also has three other older siblings – a brother, Dane Rashford, two sisters, Chantelle and Claire, and a half-sister Tamara.
Marcus Rashford is listed as a client under DN May Sports Management, however, the player is directly managed by Dwaine.
Dwaine Maynard is the director of DN May Sports Management, and according to his description of the company on LinkedIn, Rashford’s brother stated that it “is a company that specializes in representing world-class athletes and providing guidance through contract negotiations, commercial strategy, and brand building.”

The Instagram Account Of Marcus Rashford Brother
Dwaine Maynard has a private account on Instagram and he has about 22,000 followers on the social media platform.
It appears that after his comments went viral, he deleted the post, possibly not to put his brother’s name under much strain.
Marcus Rashford had a poor 2023/24 season, as he failed to hit the heights that he attained in the 2022/23 season.
Rashford scored 8 goals and provided 5 assists in 43 appearances across all competitions and his underwhelming showing apparently cost him a place in England’s squad for the 2024 European Championship.
Many were stunned by his exclusion from the team, but it is understandable, given his below-par display during the previous campaign.
Anyway, Marcus Rashford ended the season on an impressive note, churning out a breathtaking performance in the FA Cup final, where Manchester United defeated Manchester City by 2-1.
The Englishman played a swashbuckling crossfield pass to Alejandro Garnacho, who delivered the ball to Bruno Fernandes before the Portuguese in turn served the ball to Kobbie Mainoo, who scored the 2nd for the Red Devils in the epic clash.
Rashford received much criticism during the 2023/24 season and as such, he will be keen on displaying brilliance in the upcoming season.
Marcus Rashford has scored 131 goals and provided 65 assists in 402 appearances for Manchester United across all competitions.
Internationally, the 26-year-old has netted 17 goals for England and provided 6 assists in 60 appearances.
