Soon after missing Aston Villa’s FA Cup loss, Marcus Rashford was criticized for missing Chris Eubank Jr.’s triumph over Conor Benn, with rumors that Unai Emery wouldn’t want him.
Aston Villa’s decision to permanently sign Marcus Rashford has been questioned because of the “circus” around the player. Rashford, who is presently on loan at Villa from Manchester United, was injured and missed Saturday’s 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-final.
During one of his new team’s most important games of the season, the forward was conspicuously absent from Wembley. Rashford did, however, make it to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium later that day to witness Chris Eubank Jr. defeat Conor Benn.
The 27-year-old caused a stir on social media when he was seen enjoying the scene at ringside with celebrities like Love Island host Maya Jama, Hollywood legend Idris Elba, and Arsenal footballer Declan Rice. Due to the nature of Villa’s loss and his unexpected absence, Rashford’s participation at the boxing event drew criticism on social media, with one fan calling him “tone deaf.”
Ben Foster, a former United goalie, has questioned if Villa will use their £40 million option to make Rashford’s move permanent in light of the criticism surrounding his behavior. After asserting that Unai Emery is unlikely to desire the additional baggage attached to the star, he made his remarks.
Foster stated, “I don’t think he’s a £40m player for Villa,” on his podcast, Fozcast. “There is too much of a circus around Marcus Rashford. It’s not always about football, and there always seem to be too many other storylines.
