Villa star Morgan Rogers says Rashford, left, is such a threat that opposition defences are so worried about stopping him that others go under the radar. Rogers said: "When we go into games, no one is worrying about me. It is nice playing with him because everyone is scared of everything he can do.

"I have played with him a number of times now and I can give him space if I come short and we can work well together.
"For Villa to attract players of that level shows the level we are going in as well, because everyone knows the level of Marcus and what he can get to.
