Rooney Tells Rashford to Play for Man U the Same Way He Played for Aston Villa Against PSG

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has heaped praise on Marcus Rashford following his standout performance for Aston Villa in their dramatic Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain.
Rashford, currently on loan from United, played a key role as Villa overturned a two-goal deficit to beat PSG 3-2 at Villa Park on Tuesday night. Despite the win, the Premier League side fell short of a semi-final spot, having lost the first leg 3-1 in Paris, which saw the French giants progress on a 5-4 aggregate.
Rooney, speaking after the game, was full of admiration for Rashford’s display. He described the England international as electric on the night and urged him to bring that same energy back to Old Trafford when his loan spell ends.
“Villa came alive, PSG looked shaken, and Rashford was at the heart of it,” Rooney said. “That was the Rashford we all know—taking players on, showing his skills, creating chances.”
He highlighted Rashford’s awareness and creativity during the match, particularly in setting up key moments that sparked belief among the Villa squad and fans.
Rooney wrapped up his comments by expressing hope that Rashford can rediscover that same form in a United shirt, saying, “If he plays like this at Old Trafford, he’ll be unstoppable.”

With Messi at Inter Miami scoring 8 goals and 3 assists in 10 games this season, and Ronaldo netting 32 goals with 4 assists in 35 appearances, Baptista’s admiration for Ronaldo’s diverse career is clear. He believes it’s time for the world to recognize Ronaldo as the true GOAT.
