Was Emery Right to Bench Hot-Shooting Rashford?

Manchester United's Marcus Rashford put in a stunning performance for Aston Villa in their Champions League clash against Paris St-Germain, nearly orchestrating a comeback despite ultimately falling short. Rashford, on loan at Villa, created the most chances (four) and produced the most crosses (nine) in the match, and his set-up for Ezri Konsa's goal was a standout display of skill. Villa boss Unai Emery praised Rashford's efforts, saying, "He is feeling better and he played a fantastic match." However, Emery's decision to substitute Rashford for Ollie Watkins in the 76th minute was questioned as it appeared to disrupt Villa's momentum. Rashford has been revitalized at Villa, scoring five assists since his debut, and his impressive display against PSG has shown his critics that he is still a force to be reckoned with.
