Eagle-eyed fans spotted Marcus Rashford in the stands at Villa Park for the FA Youth Cup semi-final on Monday evening. <br /><br />Wearing a hoodie and sitting back in his seat, Rashford was shot on video by a supporter at the end of the game.<br /><br />On loan from Manchester United at Villa, the forward watched the youngsters for his parent club and loan side go toe-to-toe. <br /><br />He kept a low profile but could be seen making a swift exit seconds after United suffered defeat on penalties. <br /><br />While others around him stood up to applaud the victory for the hosts, Rashford, a boyhood United fan, opted to slip away. <br /><br />On a night when Sir Alex Ferguson also watched on in the stadium, it was ultimately a disappointing ending for the visitors. <br /><br />Villa made a dream start through Trai-Varn Mulley in the fourth minute before United pulled one back when James Scanlon converted from close range. <br /><br />Neither side could find a winner, and spot kicks decided the contest, with United scoring just one of their four. <br /><br />The final is back at Villa Park on April 10, and either Man City or Watford will be lining up against the Midlands outfit. <br /><br />Rashford, meanwhile, is finding some form again on loan, scoring twice for Villa in their FA Cup win over Preston at the weekend. <br /><br />Having started for England under Thomas Tuchel in the recent World Cup qualifiers against Latvia and Albania, momentum is building for the 27-year-old. <br /><br />He is likely to play a key role for Unai Emery's men in the Champions League and push to finish in the top five this season. <br /><br />But it remains to be seen whether the club will take up the option of buying him this summer or if Ruben Amorim views him as part of his plans. <br /><br />The manager was coy on the subject when asked about it on Monday.<br /><br />He said: 'We have a lot of games to play and I am focused on my team and my players and Marcus is not my player at the moment.<br /><br />‘But every player that performs well on loan is good news for my club, so I am happy with that.’<br /><br />Rashford's next outing will be on Wednesday night when Villa take on Brighton, and they could move up to sixth with a win, leapfrogging the Seagulls in the process.
