England manager Thomas Tuchel has rated Barcelona star Marcus Rashford as one of the best players in the world.
Rashford was left out of England’s squad for Euro 2024 last summer, but saw his England fortunes revived by Tuchel after the German named him in his first squad back in March.
In an interview with TribalFootball, Tuchel asserted that Rashford’s potential to rank among the world’s top players hinges on his improvement in a crucial area.
“He can be one of the best in the world because the finishing and the quality I see in training, with both legs and his head, he is explosive, he is fast, he is strong in the air, so for him there are no limits.

“But the numbers don’t reach the potential. He needs to push himself with goal involvements. He knows that from me.
“I think he still has to make these decisions. He is still young enough to make these decisions, because otherwise he might be disappointed in 10 years with what he could have been and what he may have done.
“That is the headline for him, to keep pushing himself to the limit. And the limit for him is very, very high, maybe higher than it is for others.
“He has this potential. But potential is a dangerous word with high-level sports, because you have to reach your personal best on a regular basis – that is demanded on this kind of level and that is the challenge for him. It is not a question of talent.
“It is a question of whether he can prove the point at club and international level; this is his task. If he starts fast or if he comes off the bench, he has to constantly prove himself.”
