"To keep on pushing himself to the limit. The limit for him is very, very high. Maybe higher than for others. 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. It's not a question of talent, it's a question of whether he can prove the point at club and international level."
"Whether he starts for us or comes off the bench he has to constantly prove himself. He can be one of the best in the world. 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. He need to push himself into goal involvements. That means goals and assists."
Marcus Rashford, 27, has 18 goals in 64 England appearances and has scored three goals for Barcelona this season, including two against Newcastle in the Champions League. He possesses finishing with both feet and the head, explosiveness, speed and aerial strength. Consistency and final-third productivity remain the central challenges, with current numbers falling short of his potential. Achieving regular personal best performances and increasing goal involvements through goals and assists are required for elite status. Rashford missed Euro 2024 and endured almost 18 months without an international appearance before his March recall. Jude Bellingham could join England's leadership group if he returns.
