Marcus Rashford's Aston Villa teammate fires dig at Man Utd and Ruben Amorim as 'new asking price' emerges
Marcus Rashford's Aston Villa teammate has aimed a subtle dig at Manchester United and Ruben Amorim following the star forward's England recall.
Rashford has made nine appearances across all competitions since joining Villa from Man United during the January transfer window.
He has yet to score for his new team but has registered an impressive four assists.
Rashford's performances for Villa have impressed Thomas Tuchel, who recalled the 27-year-old to the England squad after being left out of Gareth Southgate's Euro 2024 party last summer.

He took to social media after being included in Tuchel's squad for England's World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia later this month.
Rashford's club colleague, John McGinn, is also on international duty as he prepares himself for his national team's Nations League clash against Greece, which have been picked up by a new broadcaster.
Speaking ahead of Scotland's fixtures this month, McGinn was asked about Rashford and Marco Asensio, who also joined Villa during the winter market.
In doing so, the Scotland midfielder seemed to take a swipe at Man United and Amorim for their treatment of the Three Lions international.
"Marcus and Marco showed glimpses which have proved they are at the highest level," he said.
"They have maybe lost their way, for certain reasons, but what they will both get from us is love and support and teammates who will graft for them."
Villa captain McGinn added: "We want them to be happy again. And every day that you see them, they have a smile on their face. That's when you know footballers are happy and at their best.
"In that game against Club Brugge, Marcus played his best game in that second half and he was a constant threat.
"If we can get those two firing, they're a pair that every club in the country would take."
Before appearing for Villa, it had been claimed that Man United wanted £40 million to sanction the permanent sale of Rashford.
According to Transfer Markt, Rashford has a new market value of around £46 million.
