Thomas Tuchel has already made his feelings clear on Marcus Rashford playing for England ahead of naming his first squad since his appointment. Tuchel replaced Gareth Southgate as England coach and names his first squad next Thursday ahead of World Cup qualifiers this month.

Tuchel may not even need much convincing. He has long been an admirer of Rashford, and wanted to bring him to Paris Saint-Germain. The German even went so far as envisaging a specific role for him in attack, which could now be reimagined for England.
