Morgan Rogers sends message to new Aston Villa teammate Marcus Rashford
Marcus Rashford hopes to find form for the first time in a long time with Villa (Picture: Getty Images) Morgan Rogers has talked up the arrival of Marcus Rashford at Aston Villa, hoping to ’cause some damage’ alongside the on-loan Manchester United man. The England international has moved to Villa Park on loan until the end of the season after falling out of favour at Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim. The 27-year-old was completely frozen out by the Portuguese boss and hasn’t played since 12 December in the Europa League against Viktoria Plzen. Rashford has not really been in good form since his impressive 2022/23 season and the Red Devils have chosen to ship him out on loan. Villa have taken a gamble on him and Rogers thinks it is a worthwhile one, looking up to Rashford as he made his way in the game. The 22-year-old will hope his words come as a boost of confidence to the struggling forward, as he talks up the partnership they can create at Villa. ‘His talent and quality, everyone’s seen it for a number of years now. To be able to play with him is something I’m thoroughly looking forward to,’ Rogers told Sky Sports. Morgan Rogers is excited to team up with the new arrival (Picture: Getty Images) ‘When I was coming up, he was starting to be the guy in England and he’s someone I looked up to as a player in a similar position that you want to try and be one day. ‘Hopefully we can cause some damage on the pitch and get Villa where we want to get them.’ Rashford could make his debut for Villa on Sunday in the FA Cup as he did not appear for Manchester United in the competition before making his move. Rashford was unveiled at Aston Villa on Sunday (Picture: Getty Images) He may not be at full match fitness due to lack of game time, but he is raring to go and play for a club other than Manchester United for the first time in his career. ‘It’s an ambitious time for this club and a great opportunity for me to join the team and help them keep pushing forward. I’m excited, can’t wait for the first training session and obviously the first game,’ he said. ‘(Unai Emery is) a top manager and what he’s done at the club since he’s come to Villa is unbelievable. It’s the constant ambition that’s attractive, and it’s why you want to join such a club. You want to keep improving year on year, and that’s what the team has been doing and are doing this year.’
