Rashford changed his attitude when leaving Man Utd, unexpectedly received a "big reward"

(Dan Tri) - Instead of his dismal attitude at Man Utd, Rashford has completely changed when he moved to Aston Villa. That helped this player be named in the club's Champions League squad.

Rashford was loaned out to Aston Villa by Man Utd. The Birmingham team was even allowed to buy the English player outright for just £40 million. That shows that Rashford is considered a "lost man" at Old Trafford.

Coach Ruben Amorim has reminded Rashford of his attitude more than once during training but the situation has not changed. That has led him to remove this player from Man Utd's match registration list since December.

However, things have changed since Rashford moved to Aston Villa. According to a source close to the club, the striker "looks like a different person". The striker, born in 1997, took the initiative to give up two days off to join his new teammates in training on Monday (February 3). In addition, he also did more physical training in the gym. That shows the star's desire to return.

Rashford also took the initiative to make friends with his new teammates and was loved by them. Rashford's rapid change helped him receive the sympathy of many people at Aston Villa.

The player did not return to his home in Manchester but decided to temporarily rent a hotel in Birmingham in the past few days. According to some sources, Rashford is looking for a long-term apartment there.

A source from Aston Villa shared: "Everyone was happy when Rashford arrived, but we didn't expect him to be so friendly. Rashford quickly integrated into the team. He smiled a lot and had a positive attitude towards everyone. The striker was eager for the new challenge and wanted to please everyone."

In response to Rashford's efforts, coach Unai Emery decided to add this player to the Champions League registration list. Two other new signings of Aston Villa, striker Marco Asensio and defender Axel Disasi, were also named. Meanwhile, new signings, defender Andres Garcia and striker Donyell Malen, were not named.

Participation in the Champions League offers a great opportunity for Rashford to revive. In this tournament, Aston Villa finished 8th in the qualifying round and reached the round of 16 (not the play-offs). They will meet one of four teams: Dortmund, Sporting Lisbon, Club Brugge or Atalanta in the round of 16.
