Dion Dublin made a bold statement about Marcus Rashford’s talent following the Manchester United loanee's FA Cup heroics against Preston.
Dion Dublin has commended Marcus Rashford for his performance in Aston Villa’s 3-0 FA Cup quarter-final victory over Preston on Sunday.
Preston vs Aston Villa
Unai Emery’s team advanced to the semi-finals by defeating the hosts at Deepdale, thanks to Marcus Rashford, who ended his four-month goal drought with a vital double for Villa.
)
Preston fought valiantly, but the absence of their first-choice goalkeeper, Freddie Woodman, and on-loan defender, Kaine Kasler-Hayden, hindered their efforts against a dominant Villa side.
Rashford opened the scoring in the 58th minute, tapping in Lucas Digne's cutback, before doubling Villa's lead from the penalty spot five minutes later after Morgan Rogers was fouled.
Jacob Ramsey then sealed the Villans’ victory with a third goal, securing a semi-final clash with Crystal Palace.
Sunday’s last-eight victory was significant for Rashford, who had struggled for goals since December. The visiting supporters praised the Englishman’s performance and two goals and recognised his impact on the team.
)
Dublin echoed those thoughts, effusively praising the Manchester United loanee and stating that the forward can break into any team in the world.
“The confidence to take a penalty like Rashford did is just brilliant,” said the former Man Utd striker. “As a defender, he is a nightmare to defend against because you don't know where he is going to be.

“When he is on it and when you're giving him what he needs, he can start in any team in world football - that's how good he is.”

What next for Rashford?
Rashford will aim to pick up where he left off when Villa travel to Brighton on April 2, seeking to enhance Champions League qualification prospects.
Emery's men are four points behind fourth-placed Chelsea and three behind Manchester City in fifth.
