Aston Villa news: ‘Marcus Rashford’s hard work is paying off’

Former England goalkeeper Joe Hart says Marcus Rashford looks happy at Aston Villa and has got back the feeling of playing well and being appreciated.

Hart said: “It feels like all his hard work is paying off at the moment and he’s in a team that believes in him. He does [look happy] and it’s great to see.

“The past is the past. He just wants to be a footballer who plays well and is appreciated. He’s had that feeling before and he lost it. We all know what you want when you’ve had that feeling – can you get it back. He has shown everything in himself, deep down, to get back to that feeling.”
