Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has urged Marcus Rashford to add goals to his game amid a bright start to life on loan at Aston Villa.
Rashford notched his third assist for Villa on Friday night as they beat Cardiff City 2-0 to advance to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. The forward was a livewire throughout the contest in the West Midlands and has settled well into his new environment.
Watching on from the ITV Sport studio was Keane who urged Rashford to push on at Villa. "Villa dominated in every area of the game and it was a matter of time before they scored," the United legend explained post-match.

"They probably could’ve scored a few more but Cardiff did well. The game became a bit open and that suited Villa.
"Marcus is very good at doing that [his assist], he had a bit of luck at the end but he needs it. A quality player [Marco Asensio] walks onto it.
"Lovely, well-worked goal but he should be thinking about scoring a few goals himself. You want options and Villa have plenty of them, it's about finding a balance."
Rashford departed his boyhood club at the beginning of February after his relationship with Ruben Amorim broke down beyond repair.
Villa hold an option to pay £40m in the summer should they wish to make Rashford's move to Villa Park permanent.
Before moving to the West Midlands club, Rashford had held a preference to sign for Barcelona but the La Liga giant did not want to fork out money for the player in January.
It remains to be seen if Barca will go back in for the United man in the summer.
