REAL Madrid star Jude Bellingham issued a two-word message to Marcus Rashford as the United loanee made his return to the England national team.

Rashford is spending the second half of the season on loan at Aston Villa, where he has four assists to his name in nine appearances and is yet to score his first goal. The deal also includes an option to buy for Villa at the end of the season, with the club also covering 75 per cent of Rashford's £325,000-per-week wages during the loan spell.

Before moving to Villa Park, Rashford had scored seven goals for United but had not featured in the 13 matches before his move away from Old Trafford.

The forward's last appearance for United came against Viktoria Plzen on December 12 in the Europa League, and it remains to be seen if he will feature for the club again once the loan spell comes to an end.
