So now we know. Aston Villa are on the lookout for a new centre-forward and Marcus Rashford’s future is closely connected to their search.
If Unai Emery ignores Ollie Watkins for all but 17 minutes of Aston Villa’s biggest game for a generation, it suggests he has lost some faith in the England forward. Villa will surely listen to offers for Watkins this summer – though finding a club to meet the asking price for a player who turns 30 in December might be tricky.
Villa turned down about £45million from Arsenal for Watkins in January.
