Marcus Rashford’s short, but sweet Instagram message on Aston Villa’s followers after his debut showed how much support he has behind him.
The 27-year-old experienced a roller coaster ride for a few months, under the head coach of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim, in favor and ultimately searched for the first time in his career as an alternative employment.
Rashford has played 426 times for United in all competitions and scored 138 goals, but apart from a dramatic U -turn, it is considered “extremely unlikely” that he will ever put on the famous red shirt again.
Rashford handed over a career rescue line from Aston Villa and now hopes to impress the new Manager Unai Emery during a six-month loan, which includes an option of 40 million GBP for purchase. It is believed that there is a three and a half year contract on the table if things go well in Villa Park.
The FA Cup on Sunday with Tottenham Hotspur was Rashford’s first chance of playing for his new club, although it was forced to wait until the 66th minute when Emery decided to start the lively Donyll Malen.
Rashford was well received when he came on social media after the 2-1 win of a simple message on social media: “Thank you for the warm greeting. Great team performance.”
Then it was liked over 700,000 times and shows how popular the striker is despite the almost constant criticism in the media.
A great team performance is exactly what Villa booked for the first time since 2015 in the fifth round of the legendary Cup competition of English football.
Jacob Ramsey, a graduate of the Villa Academy, benefited from a handling error by the trace goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky to give the home team the lead.
At Rashford’s half-hour cameo, he was completed 93% of the passes he tried and won three of the five of him contested floor duels and an air slaughter of Tottenham Center-Back Kevin Danso when the duo collided in the air.
Marco Asensio almost made his debut for Villa and made Rashford from the bank when the Champions League Hoffningfuls moved their squad -deep muscles for the first time after a successful January window.
