AFP: Marcus Rashford returns to Paris Saint-Germain with Aston Villa on Wednesday seeking a hat-trick of wins at the home of the French champions while Marco Asensio can hurt his parent club.
The two players have impressed since signing on loan for Unai Emery’s men in the winter transfer window, scoring a combined 11 goals in all competitions.
Rashford will have a spring in his step after twice playing a pivotal role in securing victories for boyhood club Manchester United at PSG’s Parc des Princes stadium.
This time the England winger, who has previously been linked with a move to PSG, will be wearing a different kit after leaving Trafford under a cloud.
There is still uncertainty over whether the 27-year-old will remain at Villa Park next season but for now he has his sights set on winning the Champions League with his new club — something he never managed at United.
“He’s recovering confidence himself playing football, being focused only on football, being with his teammates comfortable as well, identifying and understanding our style, our demands,” said Emery. “Everything with him is progressively getting better.”
