England manager Thomas Tuchel has urged Marcus Rashford to fulfil his potential and avoid ending his career with regrets.
Speaking ahead of England’s World Cup qualifier against Latvia, Tuchel said the Barcelona forward has all the qualities to be among the best but must prove himself consistently.
Rashford, 27, is on loan from Manchester United and has contributed three goals and five assists in 10 games for Barcelona.
His form in Spain has drawn praise from manager Hansi Flick, who described him as “unbelievable.” The Catalan club hold an option to sign him permanently for £30m in 2026.
In January, manager Ruben Amorim criticised Rashford for not showing the attitude of someone “giving the maximum every day”.
Tuchel pointed out that Rashford is still young enough to make the right decisions in his career “because otherwise, he will be disappointed in 10 years at what could have been and what he made of it”.
“I think the limit for him is very, very high. Maybe higher than for others,” said Tuchel. “He has the potential – but potential is a dangerous word with high-level sports.
“You have to reach your personal best on a regular basis – that is what is demanded on this kind of level, and that is the challenge for him.
“He can be one of the best in the world because the quality I see in training, the finishing with both legs and with the head.
“He is explosive, he is fast, he is strong in the air, so where are the limits?
“There are no limits – but the numbers don’t reach the potential, it is as easy as that.”
