Fans have been taking to various social media platforms to express their reactions following Marcus Rashford’s debut in the Premier League for Aston Villa.
Rashford had expressed his desire to seek a new challenge away from Old Trafford, which led to his departure from Manchester United during the transfer window that took place in January.
Ruben Amorim did not include Rashford in the matchday squad for United’s match against Manchester City, which resulted in Rashford being excluded from the team.
After being linked with Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona, AC Milan, and Arsenal, the 27-year-old player ultimately decided to join Villa on loan until the end of the season. He will remain with Villa until the end of the season.
During the FA Cup victory over Tottenham Hotspur that took place the previous week, Rashford made his debut for Villa and impressed fans with his brief play in the game.
Unai Emery resisted the urge to start Rashford for Villa’s Premier League match against Ipswich Town on Saturday afternoon. However, he did bring the Englishman on at the beginning of the second half of the match.
Again, Rashford demonstrated glimpses of what he is capable of doing by making a couple of decent runs and having a shot saved by the Ipswich goalkeeper. Rashford’s performance was outstanding.
As a result of Liam Delap’s close-range finish in the 56th minute, Villa was unable to recover and fell behind.
Both Rashford and Ian Maatsen made several passes to each other on the left side of the field as Rashford continued to make an effort to bring his team back into the game.
The free kick that Rashford took with 69 minutes remaining on the clock was deflected off the crossbar and into the path of Ollie Watkins, who calmly finished to make the score 1-1. Rashford was a significant contributor to Villa pulling off the equalizer.
Rashford’s performance at both ends of the pitch left a number of fans feeling impressed, as evidenced by their reactions on social media.
Take a look at Rashford, man, said one of his fans. Without any other reason, UTD let him down. There is a tremendous amount of earth. Each and every bit of indignation from fans is a significant factor. Do not close your eyes.
“Rashford is tracking back!!” tweeted another user.
An additional supporter stated, “Marcus Rashford has been outstanding up to this point.”
In another piece of writing, someone asked, “What did Amorim say he is bad at?”
One more person remarked, “Rashford is looking very good… Amorim, you really did a terrible job of putting him out of commission by not using him until the end of the season.
One more supporter expressed their opinion that “Rashford is looking good, out to prove Amorim wrong.”
