Unai Emery has lauded ‘fantastic’ Aston Villa loanee Marcus Rashford after his two assists helped secure a 2-1 win over Chelsea on Saturday.
Rashford, who joined Villa in the January transfer window on loan from Manchester United, came off the bench at half-time to set up both of Marco Asensio’s goals as Emery’s team completed a stunning turnaround.
Rashford, who was dramatically frozen out at United by head coach Ruben Amorim, could end up joining Villa permanently at the end of the season if the Midlands club decide to trigger their £40m buy option.

Rashford was singled out for praise by pundits, his teammates and his manager, Emery, following the thrilling Premier League clash at Villa Park.
