Villa's Rogers on Rashford: He's someone I looked up to as a player in a similar position

Rashford’s loan move from Manchester United has thrilled Rogers, who admired the England star during his own development.  

He believes Rashford’s arrival will be a huge boost for Villa as they compete on three fronts this season.

"His talent and quality, everyone's seen it for a number of years now. To be able to play with him is something I'm thoroughly looking forward to,” Rogers told Sky Sports.

"When I was coming up, he was starting to be the guy in England and he's someone I looked up to as a player in a similar position that you want to try and be one day.

"Hopefully we can cause some damage on the pitch and get Villa where we want to get them."
