What Aina said
In an interview with ESPN UK, Aina was asked the question, and he replied, saying, “Saka or Rashford. Rashford has mad dynamics. Quick and direct, and we play direct in the Super Eagles, so I think Rashford would be a good addition.”
Saka is of Nigerian origin but opted to represent the Three Lions instead, the country of his birth. However, he embraces his Nigerianness and has been to the country on multiple occasions.

Rashford, on the other hand, is of Caribbean descent; however, Aina believes that his directness would suit the Super Eagles stylistically. Given that Victor Osimhen is Nigeria’s standout performer in the Eagles' Green and White, there is some credibility to the submission.
Meanwhile, Aina was also eligible to play for England and played for the Three Lions across multiple age groups. However, he opted to represent the Super Eagles, and since making his debut in 2017, he has been one of the important members of the team, racking up 46 caps in that time.
