Marcus Rashford has rediscovered his love of football at Aston Villa and the best is yet to come from him, insists boss Unai Emery.
Rashford joined Villa on loan last winter after effectively being exiled by Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim and he is slowly finding his feet again at Villa.
The 27-year-old has three goals and four assists in all competitions and is expected to start for Villa in Wednesday’s Champions League showdown against Paris Saint-Germain in the French capital.
‘He is a good guy – humble, a very good professional, and he is really happy with his team-mates,’ said Emery. ‘He is being demanding on himself and with everything we want to work on with him, with the team.
‘He is playing free, he feels comfortable and this is the most important thing. We try to connect with him as a person first of all, and afterwards as a player.
‘His process here is getting better, playing in two different positions. He started with us as a left-winger and now he is playing more as a striker. It’s about how he can exploit his qualities as well as he can.
‘There is still work to do but the most important thing is his feeling. We are seeing him smiling and it is the best news we can have.
‘I am seeing him happy, committed to everything we are doing and now it’s just about watching him play.’
