Marcus Rashford has been hailed as "refreshing" and a "humble guy" by Amadou Onana. The Manchester United talent spent the latter half of the 2024/25 Premier League season on loan with Aston Villa after falling out of favour under Ruben Amorim.
However, Onana had nothing but praise for the England international, who scored four goals and provided six assists in 17 games for the Villains. When asked what it was like to play alongside the 27-year-old on The Inside Scoop, Onana said: "Refreshing bro.
"You know when someone touches the ball, you can tell they've been there, they've played at the highest level. If you remember the PSG [vs] United [game] back then, that Marcus Rashford.
"And with some of the things he does, you just know, 'Yeah, you've been there. You know what you're doing and you know what you're talking about.' Really, really cool guy. Humble guy.
"It's a pleasure to share the dressing room with people like that, you know? Cause he's a good guy, and an amazing player - and someone that I personally, in my young age, can learn a lot from."
It comes as Rashford's future has been thrown into question at Old Trafford as he returns to his parent club from his successful loan. The forward, who has spent the entirety of his career on the books of his boyhood side, isn't expected to work his way back into Amorim's plans for next season, with the Portuguese tactician looking elsewhere to revitalise the squad he inherited from Erik ten Hag.
