The official England account has responded to Manchester United star Marcus Rashford after he posted a statement on social media.
Rashford was left out of England's provisional Euro 2024 squad by Gareth Southgate last week, with the Three Lions boss explaining that other players had simply had better seasons.
After wishing England well for the tournament, the 25-year-old then shook off a recent injury to start United's FA Cup final win over Manchester City.

On Monday, meanwhile, Rashford announced that he will be taking a break from social media in order to 'reset' ahead of the new season.
He wrote: "It's time to come off socials for a few weeks.
"I plan to rest and reset mentally after a challenging season individually and mentally. Thanks to the fans that stood by me through a difficult period.

"To the ones that didn't, just remember at United, we always stick together."
Rashford received plenty of support from fans after his post - with the England national team even paying tribute to the forward with a short but simple reply.
The Three Lions responded to Rashford's post with a love heart emoji - indicating that the United star is very much still in the national team's thinking despite his non-inclusion in the Euro 2024 squad.
Southgate named 33 players in his provisional squad, with the likes of Cole Palmer, Jarrod Bowen, Eberechi Eze and Anthony Gordon all included after strong Premier League seasons for their clubs.

The England boss now must cut down his squad to 26 players ahead of the tournament getting underway on June 14.
England's first match in Germany is on June 16, when they take on Serbia in Gelsenkirchen.
Rashford, meanwhile, will now prepare for United's pre-season schedule, which will see them tour the United States as part of their preparations for the 2024/25 season.
Their schedule kicks off on July 15, when they take on Rosenberg in Norway, before then taking on Rangers in Edinburgh. Arsenal, Real Betis and Liverpool are their opposition in the States, while a match at Old Trafford or in another part of England has yet to be confirmed but could still be announced.
