Aston Villa's Rashford targets PSG hat trick

Marcus Rashford returns to Paris Saint-Germain with Aston Villa on Wednesday seeking a hat trick of wins at the home of the French champions while Marco Asensio can hurt his parent club.

The two players have impressed since signing on loan for Unai Emery's men in the winter transfer window, scoring a combined 11 goals in all competitions.

Villa head to Paris in buoyant mood on the back of seven straight wins in all competitions - they are sixth in the Premier League and face Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semifinals later this month.

Rashford will have a spring in his step after twice playing a pivotal role in securing victories for boyhood club Manchester United at PSG's Parc des Princes stadium.

In 2019, in a Champions League last-16 second-leg meeting, he scored a stoppage-time penalty, ensuring United progressed on away goals.

Two seasons later, in the group stages of the competition, Rashford again struck late to seal all three points in a 2-1 success.

This time the England winger, who has previously been linked with a move to PSG, will be wearing a different kit after leaving Trafford under a cloud.
