Getty ImagesThe Athletic have reported this morning that Marcus Rashford, on loan at Aston Villa from Manchester United since January, will be called up to Thomas Tuchel’s first squad.
Back when he was head coach at Paris St. Germain, Tuchel praised Rashford ahead of his side’s Champions League game against Manchester United in 2020.
“We value him very much when he plays in England and not Parc des Princes, honestly, because [him scoring against us] gets a little bit annoying,” Tuchel said.
“The guy is a very young adult who takes his responsibility on and off the pitch very impressively. I have met him as an opponent three times and every time I’ve met a calm and humble guy and a nice person, which is amazing. I like this mixture a lot.
“For me personally, the sporting side is clear – he’s a big threat with his speed, with his ability to score, with his determination and his finishing. He’s very precise, taking shots inside and outside of the box. He is super rapid on counter-attacks and strong in the air with headers.”
