Marcus Rashford's Aston Villa debut was stained with blood.

Rashford, wearing an Aston Bilan uniform, made his debut in the fourth round of the 2024-2025 FA Cup against Tottenham at Villa Park in Birmingham, England on the 10th (Korea time). Manchester United's 'Seonggol Youth' Rashford was loaned to Aston Villa on the 3rd.

The lease period is from 2024 to the end of the 2025 season. It also includes a complete recruitment option. Aston Villa can be recruited by paying 40 million pounds (about 72 billion won). It also decided to pay 75% of Rashford's 325,000 pounds (about 583 million won) a week.




Rashford's decision to rent was reportedly due to the ultimatum from head coach Ruben Amorim. Under Amorim, he was informed that he would not be able to play for Manchester United.

Rashford was the face of United. Twenty years ago, at the age of seven, he had a relationship with Manchester United. He made his first team debut in February 2016 when he was 18 years old. This is the 10th season.

He has established himself as Manchester United's savior, scoring 17 goals and five assists in 35 EPL games in the 2022-2023 season, his first season under coach Erik ten Hag. However, the form of the 2023-2024 season has fallen sharply. He only scored seven goals and had two assists in 33 matches in the EPL.

He has four goals and one assist in 15 league games this season. However, concerns continued to be raised in the private life of not being able to focus on soccer.

Coach Amorim crossed a bridge that he could not return after taking the helm in November last year. Rashford disappeared from the 16th round of the EPL against Manchester City on December 16 last year.

Wearing an Aston Villa uniform, he took the field as a substitute in the 21st minute of the second half. They received a warm welcome from fans. However, a minute after being replaced, he inflicted harm on Tottenham's new recruit Kevin Danso with excessive enthusiasm.




He hit Danso in the face with his elbow while fighting for an aerial ball. Danso collapsed, and there was blood on his forehead.

Tottenham were displeased. If even Danso is injured in a situation where it is already difficult to make the best 11 due to injury, the defense line is 'No Answer'. Tottenham's center-back position was followed by Mickey van der Penn and Christian Romero, and Radu Dragusin was also "out for the season" due to a cruciate ligament injury.

So I hired Danso on a lease. Danso, who made his professional debut in Augsburg, Germany, moved to France in 2021 and played for three and a half seasons. He scored four goals in 126 games. He also experienced EPL after being loaned to Southampton for one season in the 2019-2020 season when he was a member of Augsburg.

However, he played only six games in the EPL at the time. He played in 24 A matches for the Austrian national team and also played in Euro 2024. Danso will play as a loan player until this season and completely transfer to Tottenham in the summer.

The transfer fee is 20 million pounds (about 36 billion won). Danso was initially widely expected to wear a Wolverhampton uniform where Hwang Hee-chan played, but Tottenham succeeded in 'Hijacking' at the last minute.

Danso has played in two consecutive games since joining Tottenham on loan. Fortunately, he stayed in place and digested full time after a long period of treatment. Aston Villa fans were delighted with Rashford's determination. The fans said 'He's here for blood', 'he won the header and smashed the Danso. I like him, etc.' were posted on social media.

It was a gloomy night for Tottenham. They were eliminated in the round of 32 with a 1-2 loss to Aston Villa. The first escape from a military officer in 17 years has faded.

Tottenham failed to advance to the final at the Carabao Cup (League Cup) on the 7th, three days ago. In the second round of the semifinals against Liverpool, they were completely defeated 0-4. Tottenham, which won 1-0 in the first round at home on the 9th of last month, suffered a setback in the semifinals, falling behind to a total of 1-4 in the first and second rounds.

Son Heung-min is also going through a series of hardships. He was placed in the one-top against Aston Villa. On the left and right are Matistel, who is 'New Face' and rookie Mikey Moore, who was born in 2007. Dengyan Kulusevski was located in the middle of the second line.

Aston Villa scored the opening goal 57 seconds into the game. Jacob Ramsey caught Morgan Rogers' penetration pass and shook the net with a left-footed shot from the left side of the penalty area.

Son Heung-min had a golden opportunity in the 24th minute of the first half. Moore's exquisite cross caught Son Heung-min's tiptoe. He had a one-on-one chance with the opposing goalkeeper. But his nonstop right footed shot was blocked by the goalkeeper. It was simply 'Big Chance Miss'.

Tottenham, who failed to tie, finished the first half 0-1. Son Heung-min received Kulusevski's pass in the fifth minute of the second half, dug into the right side of the penalty area, and hit a right-footed shot, but was blocked by the defender.

Aston Villa scored their second goal in the 19th minute of the second half and ran away again. Rogers, who assisted the first goal, pushed the ball from the gate with his left foot.

Tottenham scored a comeback goal in extra time in the second half, but they ran out of time. Tel's Tottenham debut goal was also overshadowed by his team's defeat.
