It takes two to tango. United also messed up.
Rashford | Villa | Loan with option to buy
- Thread starter golden_blunder
- Start date
Looked exactly the same to me. With the fresh start and some confidence he will probably score 6-8 goals between now and end of the season, and hopefully that will be enough to convince Villa to buy him, but he will never switch it back on overnight.
That’s what make me really angry, mean, selfish and unfair to the club that brought him up from nothing. Dropped his levels significantly after signing biggest contract of his career, he has lost all respect to be honest. I don’t care if he does anything good at Villa, i hope United gets rid of him permanently.
He ran around a bit but that was the only real difference to what we'd seen lately.
He made a couple of runs into the box, didn't pick out a player the first time and fouled the defender when trying to take a shot in the second.
He clearly wants him to do well at Villa and get his form back. What were you listening to?
Looked a bit sharper and motivated, but also rusty in situations where it mattered.
I imagine Villa’s set up will just suit him much more and it’ll be more like the days he played with Bruno Martial and Greenwood, so he will bag some goals.

He should do ok at Villa. Morgan Rogers is an absolute baller and should create many chances in behind for him. Tielemans is another that will be looking for the through pass regularly
Probably got bored of Manchester, looks like a change of scene 90 minutes down the road will help him.
Says more about you than himI feel nothing at all seeing him playing for another clubNo mixed feelings or sadness or anything
Got nothing against the guy just want Villa to take him off our hands because the last thing we need is a loan player return that doesn't want to be at the club.
Didnt realize Birmingham was in the north.
He’s still commuting from Manchester
Could have helped them score a 3rd with a nice touch that helped create a chance
Does it? He’s been underwhelming for about 3 years now with the exception of that period in ETH’s first season.
I care far more about what I see on the field than anything else.
He looked ok in the highlights. Cared a bit more. Ran a bit more. Tried to play collective, still rusty and misunderstood by the colleagues. Lets hope for the "option activated".
He'll do well there. People need to not get bent out of shape cause of it. The Villa team feels a bit like the situation he had at England. He has to fight and earn his place in a winning team.
But he was injured and never the same for years, or summat
Yea as many of us thought, he isn't going to impress.
Villa Fans impressed by his debut going by their Forum. So I'm wondering if they are blind or if there are quite a few bitter people in here who desperately want him to fail at Villa.
I think he will do well for them as he is a quality player when confident and on form.

He’s probably the most impressive thing in Birmingham right now as the city is a huge dump. Let’s hope he does well there so they activate the buy option.
It might help him that Villa play better football than we do and he's not working with the likes of Hojlund every game.
Probably somewhere in the middle. I thought he looked reasonably sharp when the ball came to him but off the ball it was the same as he was for us.
Hopefully we get that £40+ million
Well that answers my "will he respond" question..... Good for him, we can both go our separate ways and hopefully we both go onto good things...
He looked sharp and it was a decent debut, but not more than that imo. Villa's style of play could suit him much better and he'll be motivated to earn a move to Barca in summer ideally. Thing with Rashford is even he's poor he'll have decent G/A stats so you'd expect the same from him at Villa. Hopefully he does well and we sell for 40m.
Looked a bit faster than usual, but the same old with Rashford. If it's not he himself running into the opposition defenders, it's the ball being blasted straight at them.
Right because that would explain the moodiness, lack of effort, etc…
It's a huge defect on his personality that he seems to lack intrinsic motivation. That being said? Villa may provide the extrinsic motivation he needs right now, We'll see.
He’ll do well at Villa because teams don’t play a low block as often against them because Villa are quick out the blocks and score early often. Like the game tonight, Spurs gave away loads of space in behind and that suits Rashford’s skillset.
Watching his highlights from tonight. I swear he seems to have twice as much space as he’d get if he was still with us, it’s almost as if teams give their everything against us and then don’t bother against Villa. I saw him run into an alleyway of players a few times in that cameo and ended up winning a throw in/retained the ball somehow as it bobbled back to him in a load of space. If that was against us it feels like he’d instantly lose the ball no questions asked in those situations. Really odd watching our players in a different team I think
It's Spurs, they give everyone a ton of space.
Creator of this wasn't sure if they were making a "Rashford touches vs Tottenham" video or a marriage proposal compilation
Objectively, he wasn't amazing but he wasn't awful either. He was mostly good though. Especially for someone who's apparently a bad trainer and not played for weeks.
Personally I think he'll do well at Villa.
So much hatred can't be good for you.
