It’s so strange seeing him in another team’s kit.
I hope he comes good.

Rashford | Villa | Loan with option to buy
- Thread starter golden_blunder

Rashford looks sharp and up for this.
No sign of lack of match fitness
Although Spurs are a shambles

Very mixed emotions to fight here. Obviously we should hope he does well so he either comes back confident or we can get him moved on more realistically. However it's very annoying if we start seeing him doing stuff for Villa that he had no interest in doing for us, his boyhood club
I don't have mixed feelings at all. Just happy to get rid of him.
Hope he does well so Villa buy him.

Even stranger to see him sprinting around pressing defenders...
Villa system and creativity suits his game far more. He’s got players like Tielemans, Ramsey, Barkley, McGinn, Rogers and Ascensio creating multiple chances for him.
It wouldn’t surprise me if he gets 10-15 goals in Villa’s system and might drive them into the top 5 and CL football again.
The real travesty is how have United not been able to recruit great attacking options like Watkins, Rogers and Ascensio,
I honestly think only Amad and Garnaucho get in their squad in attacking positions and we not Amad starts.

We don't know about match fitness until he puts 90mins in.
Coming in against tired legs for 20mins in an open game. That's ideal for him.
Yeah fair, match sharpness is prob what i meant.
He is jumping and winning headers which means he chose not to do that at United.
Agreed
Yup. Never have I been so glad to see the back of one of our players.
He's barely doing that. He half presses, full back goes past him and he stops. Surprise ball forward just now and he's not gotten himself out of offside position. Same Rashford.
He's gone back into hiding
More effort that he put in for us, but there is no improvement in quality to go with it as far as I can see.
He's running hard and putting in effort. We should have easily predicted that this was going to happen but we also need it to happen so he can rescue his value. The first six months were never going to be a problem with him.
He wants a more to Barca so will play well for next few months at least.
Alan Shearer must have Player Cam on him. Desperate for Rashford to score he is
He’s completely lost his pace which is around 90% of his game rendered null
Classic Marcus
Looks same to me, runs tries to cross hits players legs. That's all he can do.
Agreed. feck him.
Only been on the pitch 20 minutes or so and Spurs have scored.
Spurs!
Spurs!
I really think he’s looked average, he’s came on against a tried defence and has done no more than what I would expect of a standard backup striker.
Agreed. His strolling around the pitch for us has made it painfully easy than I thought it would be.
The scummy media will all be requesting Rashy for the post match interviews...I'd give them a miss if I was him.
Keep your head down Marcus.

Just feel he lost his way here where everything was handed to him on a plate. Still a shame seeing him in another club's jersey
Well he certainly managed to kick the Spurs player hard.
Hardly surprising he's shown effort and application in his debut, we'll see whether he can keep it up in the mid to long term. Hopefully he does so both United and he can move on as it's clear he wasn't willing to do it here anymore.
It's that why he had a pop at him as soon as he came on the pitch? I swear some of the comments here about the guy are just so bitter
I feel nothing at all seeing him playing for another club 
No mixed feelings or sadness or anything
No mixed feelings or sadness or anythingNothing changed. Same old. Just different shirt.
Good cameo, unlucky not to get the freekick at the edge of the box when Porro clearly fouled him. A nice backheel and a few headed flick ons
Was going to say he looked miles better than Tel, but then Tel had a nice finish to score his goal

Praying that he does well so that we can sale him for more money.I don't miss him,putting half hearted effort for his boyhood club.
5 - 10 minutes of running, jumping and competing and then a return to pretend running, slower than a sunday stroll.
And this is how he behaves when on primetime terrestrial TV.
My prediction...Villa won't take up the option if he carries on like this.

Can't stand the odious little prick. It was so obvious he was making no effort here, and equally obvious that he would run around like a man possessed when he got his move. Never want to see him at OT again in any capacity.
Looks a lot better in a functional team. As anyone would.
Was fairly anonymous no? Would have thought he’d be all over the pitch, full of energy and adrenaline… but he just wasn’t.
I’m not champing at the bit for him to be shite, but would be annoyed if he started turning up when he’s been crap for us for so long.

Indeed same, runs, tries to cross, hits players legs.
I didn't think he looked much different to be honest.
He was jumping to win headers which is better than he was doing at Utd when he would just pretend he was trying to win headers but other than that it looked a similar performance to what he was putting in for Utd.

And some of the comments from his defence league are just plain weird. He's had an attitude problem here for the past 2 years which he clearly wasn't going to change even for a new manager, and some of you are still fawning over him? It's ridiculous.
