Aston Villa star ‘deeply disappointed’ with Marcus Rashford decision ahead of FA Cup clash Marcus Rashford’s transfer to Aston Villa appears to already be creating tension at the club ahead of the player’s potential debut in the FA Cup.
It is also noted that Emery was practically obliged to include Rashford and Asensio as one of the main factors behind signing for Villa was the promise of Champions League football, while Disasi made the cut thanks to a shortage of defensive options.
Ahead of the game, it was also announced that Rashford had been included in Villa’s Champions League squad for the rest of the campaign, alongside fellow loan signings Axel Disasi and Marco Asensio.
Explaining the decision, Emery said: ‘Of course, it’s not a good decision I had to take yesterday, but I spoke with Andres and Donyell to tell them the decision and I argued my decision with them.
Villa are paying at least 75 per cent of Rashford’s £325,000-per-week wages and do have the option to buy the United man at the end of the season for £40m.
