A journalist has called out 'ill-informed punters' as he raised an interesting point about Marcus Rashford following his latest showing for Aston Villa.

Villa beat Southampton 3-0 at St Mary's on Saturday but, despite the scoreline, it was a hard-fought victory.

Unai Emery's side scored three late goals to secure a big Premier League win as they push for Champions League qualification.

Rashford started in attack but failed to influence the game and was eventually replaced by Ollie Watkins, who made an instant impact, opening the scoring in the 73rd minute.

After Rashford departed, Villa scored three goals without reply - with Donyell Malen and John McGinn also getting on the score-sheet.

The star forward has made 14 appearances across all competitions since signing on loan from Manchester United during the January transfer window.

He has scored three goals for Villa, which includes a brace against Championship side Preston in the FA Cup.

in the league, Rashford has bagged just one goal in eight games for Villa.

His Villa form was flagged by Manchester Evening News journalist Samuel Luckhurst, who called out 'ill-informed punters'.

On X, he wrote: "Rashford goes off for Watkins at 0-0, Watkins scores six minutes later and Villa win 3-0. Rashford has been better for Villa but his performances have been overstated by a lot of ill-informed punters. He could still turn out to be a superb signing but has three goals in 14 games."

Rashford played 24 games for Man United this season before being sent out on loan to Villa.

His future remains up in the air, with Villa having an option to make the switch a permanent deal for £40 million.

Long-time admirers Paris Saint-Germain are also thought to be keeping tabs on the 27-year-old and have renewed contact over a transfer.

Speaking before his team's victory over the Saints, Emery shared his thoughts on Rashford and opened up about his behaviour.

"He is being demanding on himself and with everything we want to work on with him, with the team," he said. "He is playing free, he feels comfortable and this is the most important thing."
