What Thomas Tuchel thinks of Marcus Rashford as Man United rumours swirl

Marcus Rashford is currently going through one of the worst patches in his form since he broke into the Manchester United senior squad.

The English forward, 26, has only seven goals to his name all season but has let the team down when they desperately needed him.

With doubts growing over Erik ten Hag's future, top news sources have claimed Thomas Tuchel could be next for the managerial hot seat at Old Trafford.

As a result, what does Tuchel think of Rashford - a player PSG wanted to sign when he was manager?

Rashford pulled off an incredible late strike to help Man United beat PSG in the Champions League group stage 2020/21.

Tuchel, who managed PSG at the time, told in his post-match interview: "We value him [Rashford] very much when he plays in England and not Parc des Princes, honestly, because [him scoring against us] gets a little bit annoying.

"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.

"He's had a big impact and it's nice to see guys like him from the academy having such a big impact in a big, big club like United."
