Nearly 10 years on from that day, Ryan Giggs appeared on the podcast, presented by Airways, which goes live at 6am on Friday 25th April. And he admitted he is disappointed with how things have worked out for Rashford.

Given everything that has happened this season, the Welshman does not see Rashford returning to United. While speaking on , when asked if he sees a way back for Rashford, Giggs quickly replied: "No. I don't think he looked happy at United.

"I think he looks happier now. I just don't. Which is a shame because obviously I'd seen him as a part of the staff when we'd given him his debut."

When Ferdinand challenged Giggs on what he would say to Rashford if he was still in the United dugout, the ex-Red Devils skipper called out the Villa loanee, saying: "First of all, he's got to work harder.

"I talked about no matter what position on the pitch you are, you sprint back as quick as you sprint forward, and aesthetically, it didn't look great. Especially if the team ain't doing well.

"Because fans will forgive you for missing a chance. They won't forgive you for not working hard enough. They just won't. Because they can do that. They can sprint. Everyone can.

"But then also, what I talked about, you know that he can play up there. He's done it everywhere. He's done it on the biggest stage. It's hard from looking outside to in. But it looked like he's not enjoying it.

"And you've got to enjoy it. Especially flare players, attacking players. Because that's your best moments. When your confidence is high, you're trying things. Don't always come off. But play instinctively and play like you did when you were younger. Freedom."

Rashford has contributed four goals and six assists in 17 appearances for Villa, an impressive return, considering he has only started 12 of those matches. He was particularly instrumental in Villa's narrow quarter-final second-leg loss to Paris Saint-Germain, contributing an assist and seeing two good efforts be impressively saved by keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

His campaign could still end with silverware, as Villa are in the semi-final, where they will face at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, April 26. He will also be relied upon in the final stretch of the , where Villa are in a five-team race for Champions League qualification.
