Which stats Marcus Rashford leads in since joining Aston Villa?

The England star made two assists to help his side win against Chelsea.

Marcus Rashford’s start to his life at Aston Villa has been spectacular so far. The England international has made an immediate impact at the club. He has so far appeared in four games and has two assists to his name.

The England international had an inconsistent time under former coach Erik ten Hag, and when new manager Ruben Amorim took over, things only got worse. Shortly after the Portuguese took over, Rashford was cut from the Manchester United team completely.

Following his omission from many matchday squads the forward finally opened up to the media and revealed he is ready for new challenges which further worsened his relationship with Amorim.

He was then pursued by AC Milan and Barcelona before choosing to sign a loan deal with Unai Emery’s team last month.

Rashford, however, has already shown his mettle in just three Premier League games for his new squad. On Saturday, he assisted Marco Asensio and helped lead his team to a 2-1 comeback victory over Chelsea.

In addition to having the joint-most assists and dribbles during that time, Opta claims that the four huge opportunities he has generated are the most in the league since his debut.

Youri Tielemans and Asensio, his new teammates, praised the 27-year-old for his crucial performance against Chelsea and congratulated him for the two assists. Coach Emery also discussed his ambitions to make sure the United academy graduate keeps getting better as the season progresses.

Marcus Rashford will be hoping to capitalize on his strong start when Villa play Crystal Palace on February 25. Villa have won their past four games across all competitions.

It is also a matter of time before he scores his first goal for Aston Villa as Rashford has come close to scoring goals many times. He will be patient and eagerly await the chance to pounce on it and open his account for Emery’s side.
