On-loan Manchester United forward Rashford is pushing for his first start for Villa after showing an upturn in performance in his two substitute appearances for his new club so far.

The United academy product was told by boss Ruben Amorim that his training performances were not good enough and he was exiled from the first-team squad on match days since December before he secured a loan move to Villa.

Slot said: "I know Marcus Rashford as I follow the Premier League and first time I faced him was in USA tour and was really impressed with how fast he is, nice height and comfortable on the ball!

Rashford is hoping to make his first Aston Villa start against Slot's Liverpool this week.
