James remains convinced that the 28-year-old still possesses elite-level talent and pointed to his performances in Spain as evidence. He also believes Liverpool’s current coaching environment would help the forward return to his best level.
“We saw at Barcelona that when you get Marcus Rashford in a happy place, he’s capable of playing incredible football,” James added. “I can’t imagine Liverpool will actually sign him, but football rivalries shouldn’t stop clubs from pursuing the best players. Someone like Andoni Iraola is good enough to create an environment where Rashford could thrive.”
