Fans have already made their minds up on Marcus Rashford at Aston Villa after first appearance against Spurs

Fans have already made their minds up on Marcus Rashford after he made his Aston Villa debut on Sunday.

After being completely frozen out by Ruben Amorim at Manchester United, Rashford has signed for Unai Emery's side on loan until the end of the season - though the club have the option to buy him for £40 million.

Wearing the No.9 shirt vacated by Jhon Duran after he signed for Al Nassr in a £64.5 million switch, Rashford was on the bench alongside fellow loan addition Marco Asensio for the FA Cup fourth round tie against Spurs.

Goals from Jacob Ramsey and Morgan Rogers put the hosts 2-0 up at Villa Park and both Rashford and Asensio were introduced in the 66th minute to a thunderous ovation.

Rashford had not played until mid December but with the supporters cheering him on, he looked incredibly sharp and with a point to prove in his cameo. Playing through the middle but floating out to the left, Rashford produced plenty of neat touches and nutmegged Pedro Porro in glorious fashion in one of his key highlights.

The England international linked up well with his new teammates and showed he's more than willing to press and work for the team.

And though it was only a substitute appearance, already there was plenty of positive reaction to Rashford's return to the pitch in new surroundings.

One fan on X said: "Marcus Rashford has shown more attacking intent and quality in 5 minutes for Aston Villa than all of the Manchester United attackers in the last few weeks combined."

A second commented: "There’s not a single attacker at Manchester United better than Marcus Rashford I’m sorry."

Another added: "Marcus rashford looks on a mission, he’s gonna show the world."

A third posted: "This Rashford performance is teaching you that environment / culture is EVERYTHING."

A fourth fan fumed: "Amorim gaslighted the braindead section in our fanbase into thinking Rashford wasn’t training properly lmfao."

Another wrote: "Rashford is balling out there man…playing with much better players does make a difference."

A final person stated: "Villa genuinely look like world beaters with Rashford."

With Ollie Watkins out injured, Rashford will be hoping for a first start on Saturday in the Premier League when Villa host Ipswich Town.
