Marcus Rashford ended his 120-day goal drought with a double in Aston Villa's 3-0 FA Cup quarter-final victory over Preston, setting up a semi-final against Crystal Palace. Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, is enjoying his football again and has improved significantly under Unai Emery. His return to form has been acknowledged by England boss Thomas Tuchel, who restored him to the international fold earlier this month. Despite initial doubts, Rashford's performance against Preston showed his 'swagger' and confidence is back. The deal United struck with Villa to let Rashford leave is complicated, with 75% of his wages being covered and the possibility of this rising to 90% if certain performance-related bonuses are met. Rashford's past achievements, including FA Cup and Europa League wins, make him an asset to any side.
