Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has gotten off to a difficult start to the loan spell between Barcelona and England boss Thomas Tushel.
Thomas Tushell admitted that Marcus Rashford is struggling with “awesome” in the English shirt after he and several others didn’t impress Andorra at Wembley. Manchester United got a fresh start this summer when he financing his dreams for Barcelona after losing his favor under Reuben Amorim.
However, Rashford endured a poor start to life in Catalonia. The 27-year-old only started one of the club’s three-league games in opening games, but he took off at halftime in his victory over Levante last month. He has not yet contributed to the goal, which has led to the proposal in Spain that Barcelona could attempt to cancel the forward’s loan agreement early.
He has not been able to make the most of his opportunity to make the most of his account for the season as England took the helm of the three Lions’ bosses in an overwhelming 2-0 win over Andorra on Saturday.
But even the Germans admit that Rashford struggles to meet his potential with his English shirt. “He struggled a bit with the numbers, had a ‘amazing’ performance in an English shirt, and I agree,” Tuchel said after the match.

“But as long as he trains, acts and lives in a group, we always trust him, pushes him and supports him. You can see what he tries, which is the most important thing for me.
Elsewhere, Rashford had already given his verdict on the slow start of life with Barcelona, admitting that he was still out of pace when it came to fitness. He said: “The intensity here is very high.
“Preseason was tough, and I ended up exhausted every time. It’s not just about running, it’s about working with the ball and staying at a certain level.

After facing Andorra, Rashford certainly hopes to buy more time on his next outing with Serbia on Tuesday. Later, in his actions with Valencia, attention is directed towards Barcelona, the Catalan giant.
Rashford will then get the chance to return to England as Barcelona faces Newcastle at St. James Park in the first Champions League fixture of the season.
