Marcus Rashford has already impressed for Aston Villa after securing a loan move away from Manchester United, but he's not alone...

Rashford made his first-ever club appearance away from Manchester United during a 30-minute cameo for Aston Villa on Sunday.

Although it was a brief introduction, the 27-year-old showed glimpses of his fit and firing self during Villa's 2-1 FA Cup victory. It was a first step away from the Old Trafford glare, a step others have also reaped the rewards of.

Often criticised over the last 18 months for a lack of intensity and effort, Rashford's first touch saw him challenge Kevin Danso in the air, winning the ball and leaving the Spurs defender in a heap. That duel was one of four he won and six he contested in total while on the pitch.
