Marcus Rashford has pointed to his “step-by-step” progress since joining Aston Villa as he scored his first goals for the club in Sunday’s 3-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win at Preston North End and added that he feels he has more to give.
The forward joined Unai Emery’s team on loan during the January transfer window after falling out of favour at Old Trafford where head coach Ruben Amorim repeatedly questioned Rashford’s effort in training.
Rashford has shown signs of improvement since joining Villa and was included in Thomas Tuchel’s first England squad during the international break.
“It’s a great feeling. I feel like I’ve slowly been getting fitter and playing better football since I’ve been here,” Rashford told the BBC. “So yeah, it’s obviously nice for a forward to always get goals, so hopefully it continues.”
Villa’s win booked their place at Wembley when they will face Crystal Palace in the semifinals of the FA Cup towards the end of April. Emery’s side have also reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League where they will take on Paris Saint-Germain.
