Marcus Rashford is regaining form on loan at Aston Villa, scoring in back-to-back matches, including his first Premier League goal for the club in a 3-0 win over Brighton. After a tough spell at Manchester United, Rashford confidence and fitness are returning. Manager Unai Emery praised his focus, and Rashford hopes to continue delivering consistent performances for Villa.
After being the outcast at Manchester United earlier this season under manager Ruben Amorim, Marcus Rashford is finding his form again on loan at Aston Villa. The 26-year-old forward has begun to regain confidence, delivering impressive performances in back-to-back matches. He scored twice in the FA Cup quarterfinal against Preston North End and followed it up with his first Premier League goal for Villa in their 3-0 win over Brighton. That goal came early in the second half, when he controlled a long pass from Morgan Rogers and fired past Bart Verbruggen from outside the box.
Villa manager Unai Emery revealed they had tested Rashford in a striker’s role during training and were pleased with the outcome. Emery emphasized that Rashford’s growing comfort with teammates and renewed focus on football are helping him rediscover his best form. Rashford echoed those sentiments, saying he’s getting fitter and enjoying his football again.
This resurgence is significant given Rashford’s previous struggles at United, and Villa appears to be the perfect environment for his revival. With crucial fixtures ahead, Rashford’s form could play a pivotal role in Villa’s campaign, and if he continues this trajectory, a permanent move or a Manchester United comeback could be on the cards.
