Aston Villa is delighted to announce the loan signing of Marcus Rashford from Manchester United.

The England international, capped 60 times by the Three Lions, joins Villa on a deal until the end of the season.

Rashford has scored 138 goals in over 400 appearances having come through the ranks at Old Trafford and has lifted the Europa League, two FA Cups and two League Cups with his boyhood club.

The versatile forward, who can play anywhere along the front line, has also netted 17 goals in an England shirt and has represented his country at two World Cups and two European Championships.

Welcome, Marcus!

I wonder if they'll actually address any of the noise around him in his welcome stuff, or just leave it for the journalists to ask him about it if and when he faces the media?

Good luck Marcus. You’ll find this club will love you if you work hard and get back to your best. You won’t want to go back to the circus you just left.

Marcus Rashford has scored all 11 spot kicks he's taken since October 2019

I don't mean to quibble statistics, but I definitely remember a famous miss in the Euro 2020 final.

And while I'll happily accept it doesn't count as a goal if it's scored, they could definitely phrase it better so that it's not objectively wrong.

Nobody is ever going to go with "Gareth Southgate had never missed a penalty before" are they?

Even with that in mind it still makes him the best PK taker at our club by a long shot. We are lucky to get ours on target. Of course I could be cynical by saying that Tielemans had a good record before he rolled up to B6. How’s that gone?

I'm comfortable with the logic. Just uncomfortable with the phraseology of the lazy bastards whose facts you're quoting.

Unless they're your facts - in which case, fix your phraseology, you lazy bastard.

*wink*

Ha! Bloody fact checkers. Blame “Villa correspondent” John Townley. The Mail has gone right downhill.

I nearly did a fourth ever Twitter in 13 or so years to correct him. Then decided that life's too short for such things.

He's posted the little video tease on his Instagram already too. Can't see if there's a caption.
