Roy Keane<\/a> says Marcus Rashford<\/a> needs to add more goals to his game, despite the forward coming away from Aston Villa’s FA Cup<\/a> win over Cardiff City with another assist.<\/p>\n

Rashford appears a player reborn having completed a January loan move from to Villa Park from Manchester United<\/a>, where he had been frozen out of the first-team by Ruben Amorim<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old had endured a wretched 18-month period prior to the temporary switch and intimated in December that he was keen for a fresh challenge away from Old Trafford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since joining Villa, the attacker has been an instant hit, racking up four assists in his first six games for Unai Emery’s side – the latest of which coming against Cardiff on Friday night<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hosts Villa were kept at bay by their Championship opposition in a frustrating opening 45 minutes, but Rashford helped find the breakthrough, putting the ball on a plate for Marco Asensio with a first-time cross from the left flank.<\/p>\n

Asensio increased the deficit with his second in the 80th minute and Villa held firm to secure a place in the quarter-finals for the first time since their run to the final in 2015.<\/p>\n

‘He does [shape his run intelligently] and that’s what Marcus should be doing more of,’ legendary ex-Manchester United captain Keane said of Rashford’s assist on ITV after Villa’s 2-0 victory.<\/p>\n

‘You give good players time on the ball and you’re in trouble. We saw it in the first half and Marcus is very good at doing that.<\/p>\n

‘This is obviously one of Marcus’ big strengths. He has a bit of luck at the end, I’m not sure he’s trying to pick out Asensio.<\/p>\n

‘But to be fair, he needs a bit of luck, he’s put it into the right area and a quality player walking onto it, one-touch finish.<\/p>\n

‘No chance for the goalkeeper. Lovely, simple, effective goal.’<\/p>\n
