Overview

  • Speaking in Riga before England’s World Cup qualifier against Latvia, Thomas Tuchel praised Marcus Rashford’s tools but said his goals and assists must better reflect his ability.
  • Rashford has started strongly on loan at Barcelona with three goals and five assists in his first 10 appearances across competitions, according to multiple reports.
  • The 27-year-old was recalled by Tuchel and recently featured as a substitute, taking his England record to 18 goals in 64 caps.
  • In an ITV interview, Rashford described his time at Manchester United as being in an “inconsistent environment,” a remark that has fueled discussion over causes of his past variability.
  • Rashford left United after falling out of favour under Ruben Amorim, spent a half-season loan at Aston Villa, and is now at Barcelona on a season-long deal that some outlets report includes a non-mandatory option to buy.
