Rashford speaks out after Aston Villa debut

In the early morning of February 10, when Aston Villa were leading 2-0 until the 66th minute, coach Unai Emery decided to put Marcus Rashford on the field to replace Donyell Malen. However, the former Manchester United star did not leave much of an impression.

However, he still expressed an excited message on his personal page after the match. Rashford wrote: “Thank you for the warm welcome. Great performance from the whole team”. Rashford was quite optimistic because this was the first time in many months that the English striker was able to play again.

In more than 20 minutes of playing against Tottenham, Rashford did not shoot. He only touched the ball 22 times, passed accurately 93%, won 3 duels and lost the ball 6 times. Explaining Rashford’s performance, coach Unai Emery said that Rashford “has great potential”.

Aston Villa’s captain said: “I don’t want to know why he left Manchester but I’m very happy to have Marcus here. Rashford is a versatile player in the position. We are confident in having him in the ”

In fact, Rashford needs more time to regain his form after a long time without playing at his best. In addition, he was brought on by coach Emery when Aston Villa was leading by two goals and proactively slowed down the match.

Therefore, coach Emery and Aston Villa fans are still patient with this star. Many Villa fans appreciate Rashford’s efforts to support the defense and his ability to win the challenges with Tottenham defenders in this match.
