Marcus Rashford and Aston Villa ‘laughing at Manchester United’ after new update

Marcus Rashford and Aston Villa will be laughing at Manchester United.

The 27-year-old moved to Villa Park on loan in the winter transfer window after a high-profile falling out with Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim.

The England ace escaped the toxic atmosphere at Old Trafford and is thriving under Unai Emery at Villa Park, notching four assists in nine appearances.

Rashford gets England reward for Villa form

As a result of his form in B6, Villa loanee Rashford has been rewarded with a recall to Thomas Tuchel’s first Three Lions squad for the upcoming international break.

The Villans ace was last selected for his country in the 1-0 loss to Brazil in March 2024, nearly a year ago to the day.

He could feature in the World Cup qualifiers against Albania (21 March) and Latvia (24 March) but there are no Red Devils players in the squad.

Villa to have the last laugh over Man United

Villa are set to have the last laugh over the Old Trafford outfit after Rashford was called up and none of their players were.

Rashford came to Villa Park hoping to revive his career after a dismal run of form and force his way back into the England squad.

Rashford’s stats for Aston Villa so far.

It has taken him just over a month to do exactly that as he has shined for Emery’s side despite not registering a goal yet in his nine appearances.

He has formed a very dangerous partnership with fellow loanee Marco Asensio and surely the Villans will attempt to bring both players in on permanent deals in the summer if they maintain their current form.

The loan star will hope to prove himself on the international stage once again and go back to his status as key player for the Three Lions after a year in the shadows, ignoring negative views from the likes of Troy Deeney in the process.

His emergence for England will only help Villa’s case to secure his signature permanently and, given that there is a £40million clause in his loan deal, it is a no-brainer at the moment, especially with the way that he has endeared himself to supporters.
