What did Tuchel say about Rashford?

" But the numbers don't reach the potential. He needs to push himself with goal involvements. He knows that from me.
"I think he still has to make these decisions. He is still young enough to make these decisions, because otherwise he might be disappointed in 10 years with what he could have been and what he may have done.
"That is the headline for him, to keep pushing himself to the limit. And the limit for him is very, very high, maybe higher than it is for others."
Tuchel has involved Rashford in all of his squads as manager, except for one, when Rashford was dealing with an injury suffered towards the end of the 2024/25 season.
Tuchel continued, "He has this potential. But potential is a dangerous word with high-level sports, because you have to reach your personal best on a regular basis - that is demanded on this kind of level, and that is the challenge for him. It is not a question of talent.
"It is a question of whether he can prove the point at club and international level; this is his task. If he starts fast or if he comes off the bench, he has to constantly prove himself.
"I can feel him, and I felt in my first camp, I can help him if he feels my support for him because he was at Aston Villa at the time, which I thought was quite a bold move at the time, to go into a team that was well settled and played a hard-working style.
"That was a very good move for him, he settled in very quickly. I liked his work rate against the ball, and still he had not as many goals and goal involvements as he could have, for the quality we see in training."
