Thomas Tuchel has been impressed by Rashford’s form at Aston Villa and believes that the forward deserves a recall to the England squad.
“Marcus has been in excellent form for Aston Villa, and his performances have not gone unnoticed,” Tuchel said. “He has the pace, skill, and finishing ability to cause problems for any defense, and I believe that he can be a valuable asset for us in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.”
