Inside Marcus Rashford's first week at Aston Villa: Training on his days off, the truth about THAT unveiling photo and 'striker whisperer' Unai Emery's tailor-made plan to get Man United outcast back to his best

Marcus Rashford, the exiled prince of Manchester United, has come to the place where footballers mix with true royalty.

As he tries to put his career back on track, Rashford needs a period free from distraction and he could scarcely have found a better location.

Situated in the north Warwickshire countryside, Aston Villa’s training base near the village of Bodymoor Heath is so remote that even the future King can visit without anybody noticing.

The Prince of Wales is a huge Villa fan and has watched Unai Emery lead first-team sessions in recent times, as well as attending many of Villa’s European fixtures in the last two seasons.
