Man United fans react to Thomas Tuchel calling up Marcus Rashford for England squad, he ‘always brings’ one thing on pitch

According to reports, Aston Villa agreed to cover a large amount of Rashford’s enormous United salary and avoided having to pay a transfer fee for the Red Devils loanee.

In addition, United offered Villa a £40 million purchase option for Rashford, who would play the second half of the 2024–25 campaign at Villa Park.

After dropping in the hierarchy under United manager Ruben Amorim, Rashford, who joined Villa in February, was judged surplus to needs at Old Trafford.

Rashford was benched for the 2-1 Premier League victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium by Ruben Amorim, who encouraged the England player to compete for a starting spot.

However, Rashford hinted that his future was away from the Premier League club and the United star was offered the chance to revive his career at Villa

What Man Utd fans made of Marcus Rashford’s return to England squad
Thomas Tuchel, who was linked with Manchester United in the past, confirmed his first 26-man England squad on Friday ahead of the international break.

Marcus Rashford’s form at Old Trafford fell off a cliff last season and the United player missed out on representing England at Euro 2024 last summer

The 27-year-old United star’s struggles extended into the current season with the Red Devils, despite former Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag sticking with him.

United fans on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, had a mixed reaction to the Aston Villa attacker’s return to the England squad

Another claimed: “Exactly that. And I’m not entirely sure how some okay games for Villa mean Rashford’s back. Even my Villa mate is confused by it.”

Someone else commented: “It’s interesting to hear Tuchel talk about Rashford’s off-the-ball work as the main reason he got called up.”

“Rashford back in, well deserved,” a fourth wrote.

While a fifth added: “Good to have Rashford back in that England team. I have always said that no-one can bench Rashford [on] that left side of [the] England team.”

“Rashford looks dangerous and is proven at a far higher level! These are qualifiers, not friendlies. His chance will come,” another suggested.

A seventh X user posted: “Even if Rashford remained [at] United, Tuchel would have still called him up. He is TT kinda player, and he always brings different dynamics to England’s squad.”

And an eight United fan tweeted: “Pleased for Rashford getting back in the England squad – I think Tuchel’s always liked him, so was always gonna give him a chance.”
