Marcus Rashford was on training on his first day in Aston Villa while he seems to be getting the ground in his new club.
The former striker of England was criticized as lazy, by his former boss Ruben Amorim who accused him of not making enough effort to train or competitions during his time at Manchester United.

But Sunsport can reveal that Rashford has been a Model Pro since he agrees to get to Villa last Sunday.
He immediately made a favorable impression on new boss Unai Emery by refusing to take two days off at the start of his first week, together with his new teammates.
Instead, Rashford offered himself to come in a punishing session on Monday when he spent time in the gym and then on the training pitch: “shaking the spider webs”, working with individual coaches.
The 27-year-old has quickly settled in life in his new club and has made a positive start with his new teammates, who immediately took over him.
It is crucial that Rashford will not commute from his house in Manchester and has already started hunting accommodation in the West Midlands, so he spends as little time as possible in a hotel.
Villa insiders say that the man who left Old Trafford under a cloud has received the little firm between his teeth and is ready to start his career under Emery.
“It must have been felt very different for Marcus when he arrived in Bodymoor Heath for the first time on Sunday,” we were told.
“After all, he has only known the Carrington Training Ground of Old Trafford of United since he became a member of the Academy of United of seven years old.

“But he wanted to get to know the staff and did all his medical tests, then he went to the canteen with the club food expert, before he had his photos in all three Villa Kits and did interviews with Club TV.
“He smiled a lot and made a positive first impression on everyone who met him. He was sober, seemed enthusiastic to please and was really enthusiastic about the new challenge that pregnant.”
Rashford was bent forward when Emery explained his vision for him during a long telephone conversation at the end of last week, which convinced him that Villa was the perfect move in this critical phase in his career.
It was expected that Rashford would maintain a move to Euro Giants Paris Saint-Germain or Barcelona, so Villa was surprised how quickly the deal progressed as soon as Emery spoke to the rush.
We were told: “Marcus had other options at home and abroad. But the temptation of playing in the Champions League and challenging for a European place gave us an advantage.
“Unai spoke to him extensively on the phone and he was incredibly detailed about what his vision was for Marcus.
“He created exactly what he wanted him to do and what he would never expect to do and painted a clear picture of how he intended to get his career back on an upward route.
“It was a compelling conversation, there was absolutely no room for confusion, he told Marcus Straight exactly what his plans were for him. It is honest to say that the telephone caller sealed the deal.”
