Marcus Rashford has reportedly earned a recall to the latest England squad as his fine form for Aston Villa looks set to be rewarded. The Manchester United academy graduate completed a surprise loan move to Unai Emery 's side during the January window, having also been linked with a move to Barcelona and Juventus. It came after Rashford fell out of favour under United manager Ruben Amorim, having not played for the Red Devils since their 2-1 win over Viktoria Plzen on December 12 last year.
But the 27-year-old has returned to form at Villa Park with three assists in nine matches for Emery's team. His performances have played a role in Villa reaching the Champions League quarter-finals, where they will face French champions Paris Saint-Germain next month .

It is said that the winger, who has not been called up for 12 months, will now feature in World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia at Wembley Stadium on March 21 and 24, respectively. "I'm very happy with the window we did, I'm very happy with him," Emery said when asked last month about Rashford's arrival at Villa Park. "The conversation I had with him was a very normal conversation with a player and coach, speaking about football.
"I only want the best football from him. As a person as well into the dressing room like one more player helping us. "I think his potential is huge potential to exploit.
I don't want to know the reason he is leaving from Manchester but I am very happy keeping him here. "I am very happy to try to exploit and help him recover his performances, individually and collectively. My challenge with him is huge.
His challenge with us is exciting." Morgan Rogers has also reportedly earned a call-up to Tuchel's squad having been added to the squad in November after several injury withdrawals. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder featured in both games during that international window and has been in good form for Villa.
