Unai Emery reveals his 'objective' for Marcus Rashford as Aston Villa boss backs Man Utd loanee to build on crucial role in Chelsea win

<p>Manchester United loanee Rashford came off the bench for the second half and provided two assists for Marco Asensio as Villa came from a goal down to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-player-ratings-aston-villa-filip-jorgensen-cole-palmer/bltd5a626da51be4feb" target="_blank">win 2-1</a> on Saturday. After the victory, manager Emery said he will continue to push the 27-year-old, while making him feel "comfortable in a good atmosphere" at the club.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He said told reporters: "We want to support him, help him. Try to help him to feel comfortable here. Try to help him get confidence with us. Try to use the skills in our tactical ideas, try to be demanding with him. He is in this process. Of course he played a fantastic 45 minutes. We now want him to be consistent. Hopefully he is going to be important, like today, but then more and more and more. The most important thing for him is to try to be here with us and be confident and comfortable in a good atmosphere - this is my objective."</p>

WHAT UNAI EMERY SAID

<p>Rashford swapped <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-confirm-marcus-rashford-loan-transfer-to-aston-villa-gbp40m-buy-option-red-devils-also-reach-surprisingly-salary-agreement/blt99694fc63dfdf441" target="_blank">United for Villa on loan</a> until the end of the season earlier this month and so far the move has proven to be a worthwhile one. After being <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-reason-marcus-rashford-dropped-ruben-amorim-extended-man-utd-exile-attacker-punished-rule-break/blt0c2c9cb5c5acd2c6" target="_blank">exiled at the Red Devils</a>, the England international is still showing what a quality player he can be in the right setup.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Rashford, who was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/two-assists-marcus-rashford-impact-aston-villa-team-mates-marco-asensio-youri-tielemans-decisive-role-win-chelsea/blt238424ac87a7436a" target="_blank">praised by his team-mates</a> after the Chelsea win, will hope to provide more goal contributions when Villa face Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Tuesday.</p>
