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.”

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
