Marcus Rashford - signed on loan (injured - out for season?)

[Toronto Villa]

I wish I could look as fat or unhealthy as him. Looks fine here.

🚨 Marcus Rashford statement: “I would like to thank Manchester United and Aston Villa for making this loan deal happen”.

"I was lucky to have a few clubs approach me but Aston Villa was an easy decision - I really admire the way that Aston Villa have been playing this season, and the managers' ambitions”.

“I just want to play football and am excited to get started. I wish everyone at Manchester United all the best for the rest of the season”.

They left off the bit about him focussing on Barcelona until it transpired they couldn’t afford him.

He'll be fine when he sobers up.

The last Man Utd player we took on who had to sober up before he played did alright.

Actually, he looks like he needs a bath as much as anything

Yeah, but you are not, and one assumes never have been, a top level athlete.

"I really admire the way that Aston Villa have been playing this season”.

Hmm.

[mallo]

I think the statement is a pr neutral one - just say something and move on - it’s not a point scoring situation - it’s says something he hasn’t said anything negative about united and also wants to play football - no one knows anything - so let’s find out

Now he's in the door I'm fully behind him . If he can recapture his best form he will be superb for us , linking up with Watkins .

Hahahahahahahahaha.

But such a shame is all such a fecking rush job eh ?

Get some kip , school tomorrow.

I don’t need to be a top level athlete to see he doesn’t look fat.

Putting all reservations aside, there's undeniably a little frisson at seeing such a big-name player stretching the Villa shirt.

And I must admit there's more than a smidgen of satisfaction too, at us now having two players representing us who have come in for unwarranted criticism, merely for having the temerity to be black men unafraid to speak up for the values they believe in. I think that's something we can be proud of.

Welcome Marcus. I hope you do brilliantly.

Hmm.

He’s only watched us at home then I take it!

From the comfort of his luxury armchair.

How extraordinarily bizarre to see Marcus Rashford in a Villa shirt.

Isnt it just and I think he will be alright here.

He looks absolutely fine to me. I expect he's had an unusually busy day today which would explain his slightly dishevelled appearance.
