    WHAT UNAI EMERY SAID

    He said told reporters: "We want to support him, help him. Try to help him to feel comfortable here. Try to help him get confidence with us. Try to use the skills in our tactical ideas, try to be demanding with him. He is in this process. Of course he played a fantastic 45 minutes. We now want him to be consistent. Hopefully he is going to be important, like today, but then more and more and more. The most important thing for him is to try to be here with us and be confident and comfortable in a good atmosphere - this is my objective."

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Rashford swapped United for Villa on loan until the end of the season earlier this month and so far the move has proven to be a worthwhile one. After being exiled at the Red Devils, the England international is still showing what a quality player he can be in the right setup.
