Marcus Rashford's loan stint at Aston Villa has sparked considerable discussions among fans and commentators alike. Despite his impressive performances since leaving Manchester United, it seems all is not well behind the scenes in Villa's dressing room.

Rashford, once weighed down by expectations at Old Trafford, is thriving at Villa under the guidance of Unai Emery. However, legendary striker Ian Wright has revealed that this success has led to unrest, particularly affecting Ollie Watkins, who feels 'disrespected' by the way Rashford is being treated.

The Fallout from Rashford's Arrival

Stepping into the Villa squad at a challenging moment in his career, Rashford quickly became the club's star attraction. Emery has openly praised him in interviews, a move that has raised eyebrows given his usual emphasis on team unity. It's clear that while Rashford shines, the dynamics within the team are shifting.

Wright commented on this development during a segment on The Overlap, stating, 'With Rashford's arrival, Watkins feels sidelined. He has every reason to be frustrated. As a striker, you want to be out there scoring goals, and after a brilliant performance against Newcastle, he deserves his starting spot. If he’s not getting it, it's understandable for him to be angry.'

Rashford's Future: A Temporary Affair?

Despite the positive impact Rashford has made, there's speculation about how long he will remain at Villa. The financial constraints of the club and Rashford's ambition to play at a top-tier club suggest this loan may be just a stopgap.

If Rashford doesn't stay at Villa, it could turn out to be a blessing for Manchester United, allowing them to drive a bidding war for his services from a strong negotiating position.

As for Watkins, seeing a player who openly dislikes the striker role take his spot is damaging. Unless Emery addresses this growing tension, the situation could escalate, leading to a potential rift within the team.
