Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, on loan at Barcelona with a potential £30m permanent move in 2026, has impressed England manager Thomas Tuchel. Tuchel highlighted Rashford’s speed, aerial ability, and finishing skills, urging consistency in goals and assists. Rashford, 27, has three years left on his United contract and aims to secure England’s World Cup spot next summer.
After the start of the 2025/26 season, Marcus Rashford has been making waves on loan at Barcelona, following his move from Manchester United in July. The 27-year-old England forward joined the Catalan side for a season-long loan, with Barcelona holding an option to make the transfer permanent for £30 million in 2026. Reports suggest Barca are keen to finalize the deal earlier, potentially negotiating a fee around £26 million.
Rashford, who has three years left on his United contract signed in July 2023 after a career-best 30-goal season in 2022/23, has impressed both at club and international level. England manager Thomas Tuchel praised Rashford’s all-round ability, highlighting his speed, aerial strength, finishing with both feet and consistency as areas where he can become one of the best players in the world. Tuchel emphasized that while Rashford’s talent is clear, reaching his full potential requires consistent goal contributions and performances.
Tuchel also stressed that Rashford is at a stage in his career where the right decisions are crucial to avoid future regrets, urging him to push himself to the highest standards for both club and country. With England aiming to secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, Rashford’s performances at Barcelona will be closely watched as he strives to solidify his place in the national team.
