De Gea and squad cheer Rashford’s long-awaited return…

Marcus Rashford is swapping his snazzy Aston Villa kit for the England jersey after a year in the international wilderness, and his former Manchester United pals are rolling out the virtual red carpet on Instagram! Yes, this football opus features the one and only David De Gea and an ensemble cast of eight current United magicians joining in the lovefest for Rashford’s Three Lions call-up.

The 27-year-old wizard, who conjured up four assists since his January arrival at Villa, received a royal recall from England’s new head honcho Thomas Tuchel. This prompted Marcus to hit the socials with a “Never stop believing” mantra that got his fan club gushing. The golden thumbs-ups from them included Bruno Fernandes with heartfelt emoji magic and other clubbers like Lisandro Martinez and Diogo Dalot.

Rashford’s England encore isn’t just a solo performance; he’s teaming up with Aston amigos Ezri Konsa and Morgan Rogers next week. As United’s emojis echo across cyberspace without a single call-up themselves, Rashford’s ready to sizzle at both the world stage and take on PSG with Villa in the upcoming ace Champions League action. Look out, Rashford’s back and everyone’s loving every minute!
