Preston 0-3 Aston Villa: Marcus Rashford at the double as first goals for new club seal FA Cup semi-final spot at Wembley - with Jacob Ramsey also on target

Just when they thought their season had hit rock bottom, now Manchester United must watch their exiled homegrown hero try to lead Aston Villa into the FA Cup final.

Marcus Rashford was practically shoved out of the Old Trafford door when he was allowed to move on loan to Villa during the winter transfer window.

Since then the 27-year-old has regained his place in the England squad and claimed his first goals since December 1 to sink Preston and send Villa into the semi-finals, where they will face Crystal Palace.
