Marcus Rashford “has everything” but needs “someone standing behind him” to give him the confidence to realise his “huge potential”, says Barcelona team-mate Robert Lewandowski.
Speaking exclusively to Sky Sports, Lewandowski spoke of his admiration for the talents of the on-loan Man Utd forward.
Barcelona have an option price around £26m to sign Rashford on a permanent deal this summer and, following a tumultuous exit from Old Trafford, the England international has impressed in Spain.
Asked if he was surprised by Rashford’s quality and character, Lewandowski said: “After a few training sessions, no. He has huge potential.
“He has everything. He has speed, he has technique, he has a shot, he has left foot, right foot, skills…
“But Marcus is the guy, if you give him confidence and he sees that you believe in him, he can give you back 200 per cent.
“He’s a very nice guy. We spoke because we are sitting in the dressing room beside [each other]. We also play ping-pong. I see that this guy is very kind, very nice guy but also because of this he needs someone standing behind him.
“If he does have this confidence he can really play his best football and on the best level.”
