Revived Rashford on target twice at last as Villa reach semi-finals

PRESTON, ENGLAND - MARCH 30: Marcus Rashford of Aston Villa during the Emirates FA Cup Quarter Final match between Preston North End and Aston Villa at Deepdale on March 30, 2025 in Preston, England. The revival of Marcus Rashford is gathering pace. Rashford joined Aston Villa on loan in January after having been frozen out at Manchester United by Ruben Amorim. His new-found form earned an England recalled last week from Thomas Tuchel and he followed up with two goals in a 3-0 win which earned an FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace. Villa were favourites to win away to Preston while their second-tier opponents dreamed of a typical cup upset. That dream lasted for a full 58 minutes before Rashford ended his four-month goal drought with a close-range conversion to a Lucas Digne cro...

The sad truth about Marcus Rashford’s relationship with Man United

BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 02: Marcus Rashford of Aston Villa signs on loan for Aston Villa pictured with Damian Vidagany and Monchi at Bodymoor Heath training ground on February 02, 2025 in Birmingham, England. Marcus Rashford has signed for Aston Villa, bringing an 20 year association with boyhood club, Manchester United, to and end. Ruben Amorim sent Rashford a message as it became clearer that the England international would be leaving the Red Devils. Rashford wanted out of Old Trafford so badly that he took matters into his own hands at one stage. Although his move to Villa Park is only a loan deal at this stage, there’s every chance it will be made permanent. Even if things don’t work out under Unai Emery, there’s little chance of him returning to the Theatre of Dreams. Accordin...

(Photo by Stephen White - CameraSport via Getty Images) Barcelona want to sign Marcus Rashford this month, and although a deal will be very tough to pull off, they are determined to make it happen.

Barcelona needs to pay €6.5m to sign Marcus Rashford

Manchester United's Marcus Rashford during the Premier League match between Manchester United FC and Nottingham Forest FC at Old Trafford on December 7, 2024 in Manchester, England. Barcelona are said to be eyeing a move for Marcus Rashford, who looks set to leave Manchester United this month. A deal would be difficult, but not impossible, given that the Catalans are back within La Liga’s 1:1 rule. It would be a loan deal that Barcelona would want, and according to Sport, they would need to assume 100% of Rashford’s wages for the remainder of the season, as this is the condition set by Man United. As such, they would be required to free up €6.5m in salary space. Raising these funds is possible, given that there are at least four players (Ronald Araujo, Eric Garcia, Ansu Fati and Frenki...

Amorim:Rashford ‘has to really want it’ to return to top form

Last term Rashford scored only eight goals in 43 games, having registered a career-high 30 in the previous campaign. Amorim was asked what was required for Rashford to return to his best. “He has to be the first one to really want it,” the manager said. “Then, he will have the help of all the staff and fans. He has...

Man United icon urges Marcus Rashford to leave Old Trafford

Marcus Rashford has the potential to be one of the best players in the world but he may need to leave Old Trafford to unlock it. That is the opinion of Manchester United legend Nicky Butt - who played 387 games for the club between 1992 and 2004, winning 15 trophies.Rashford has scored 131 goals in 306 games for United but he has only netted nine times in his last 50 club outings. The 26-year-old's dip in form saw him miss out on a place at Euro 2024 and he has also been left out of England's squad for the upcoming Nations League fixtures against Ireland and Finland.Butt worked at United in the club's youth development set-up between 2012 and 2021, during which time he spent a lot of time with Rashford. The former midfielder, 49, appeared on talkSPORT on Monday and he was asked wh...

Erik ten Hag backs Marcus Rashford to hit top form after Community Shield chances

Erik ten Hag has backed Marcus Rashford to get back to his best after he failed to convert pivotal chances in Manchester United’s Community Shield defeat by Manchester City. United were left to rue the missed opportunities as City won on penalties after Alejandro Garnacho and Bernardo Silva traded late goals in normal time. The England striker had two opportunities to give United the lead but failed to convert from close range under limited pressure from defenders. Rashford scored only seven times in 33 Premier League appearances last season and was not called up to England’s Euro 2024 squad because of his overall poor form. Asked if he felt Rashford was lacking confidence, Ten Hag replied: “No, I think he was several times in very good positions, I am very pleased he is getting in thos...
