'It's so obvious' - Dwight Yorke spots something new from Man Utd loanee Marcus Rashford at Aston Villa

Former Aston Villa and Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke believes Marcus Rashford will make Ruben Amorim regret letting him depart Old Trafford.

Yorke has spotted something new from Rashford in his early days at Villa Park, following on from the versatile attacker’s groundbreaking deadline day loan transfer. It had been a disastrous start to the season at Man Utd as new manager Ruben Amorim criticised Rashford for his work ethic but the winger has a fire in his belly once more.

Rashford is yet to score for Villa but he recently assisted both of Marco Asensio’s goals in the 2-1 turnaround victory over Chelsea. He’s impressed in other fixtures, too, dazzling with his swagger on the ball and ability to beat defenders with a rapid turn of pace.

“He is finding his confidence again. You can see the difference in his spirit. It's so obvious - his body language just tells you a million things when you're playing the way he's playing,” Yorke told BirminghamWorld via casinobeats.com.

“The boy's always had talent, and I defended that from the very beginning. I always said I can't help what's going through his head and why he's not performing to the level. But at 27, he should be one of the best players in the Premier League.

“I think Villa have got a hell of a player on their hands, and with nurture and bringing him back slowly, he can only get better. He's not going to get worse. I think it's quite incredible that someone can leave a bigger club, go to a lesser club and then they're producing the goods.”

Man Utd camp ‘won’t be happy’

United fans must be wondering what on earth Amorim was thinking as Rashford has displayed anything but a poor attitude at Villa. The Red Devils, slumped down in 15th place in the Premier League and closer to the relegation zone than the top six, could really do with such an on-song forward.

Yes, Rashford was struggling to make his mark at United earlier in the season but he’s hit the ground running immediately at Villa. Was it really a problem with the player? Or is it an issue with the club? Yorke reckons Rashford himself is far from the cause.

“I know there's still 11 games, but you watch,” Yorke said. “The reason why Villa will be so sustainable and consistent for the remainder of the season is because of the addition of Rashford. He is electrifying. I've been in football for a long time, and I consider myself as a baller. This guy is also a baller.

“Rashford can fly. You get his mindset right; he will lift up the place if he's in the right mood. And he looks like he's getting his juice back. I think the manager that he's playing for is an exceptional manager and we'll get the best out of him.

“The Man Utd camp will not be very happy with what they're about to see in the coming weeks and months. Watch him go to work. He's just going to send a message and say, right, there you go. Just watch this space.”
