Rashford will be eager to impress new manager Ruben Amorim upon his return to Manchester.

The Portuguese manager succeeds Erik ten Hag, who was dismissed.

Amorim has worked hard to prepare for his debut against Ipswich Town at Portman Road.

Despite the Dutchman’s unblemished record as a caretaker, he has fired Ruud van Nistelrooy as coach.

Rashford has also received an olive branch from incoming England manager Thomas Tuchel.

We have disclosed that the German has spoken with the forward and stated that he is desired in the national team.

Forgotten England stars may gain from Tuchel’s appointment.

With Thomas Tuchel appointed as England’s new manager, a few forgotten legends may be hoping for a return to the international squad.

The former Chelsea and Bayern Munich manager favors a 3-4-3 setup.

This might free up a spot for Mason Mount, who hasn’t played for England since the 2022 World Cup.

During their time at Stamford Bridge, the now-Manchester United star had his most successful tenure under Tuchel.

Tuchel might also provide lifelines to previously capped players like Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Eric Dier.

RLC has flourished since joining AC Milan, and with England unable to find a partner for Rice, he could be the surprise choice.

Meanwhile, Dier played in Tuchel’s back-three at Bayern Munich last season.

After falling out of favour at Tottenham, the defender convinced the club to make his loan move permanent.
