      CLARENCE SEEDORF singled out Aston Villa defenders Matty Cash and Lucas Digne for an “unacceptable” first half against PSG. Villa put up a brilliant fight to push the French side all the way in a thrilling Champions League quarter-final second leg. Clarence Seedorf singled out two Aston Villa stars during their 3-2 win over PSGVilla trailed 2-1 at half time, with Matty Cash and Lucas Digne caught out for the goalsUnai Emery’s men trailed 2-1 at the break but stormed into the lead early in the second half thanks to goals from John McGinn and Ezri Konsa.

The ex-England striker said: “Marcus Rashford has a bad first touch and loses the ball, but as a forward you don’t expect to concede a goal from there.”I think Kamara should stay in the middle of the pitch but he doesn’t, he gambles. “From there, Matty Cash doesn’t run back quick enough.”It’s a very dangerous position now for PSG to be in.”Hakimi makes the inside run and Digne doesn’t follow him. It’s a good goal from PSG but sloppy from Villa.” More

      MARCUS Rashford’s £700,000 Rolls-Royce had to be towed AGAIN after a second tyre blowout in three weeks — just ten yards from the last. The same tyre – on the driver’s rear side – burst on Monday morning, resulting in the Mansory Wraith being towed for a second time in 24 days. Marcus Rashford’s £700,000 Rolls-Royce had to be towed again after a second tyre blowout in three weeks — just ten yards from the last flatCredit: ZenpixThe Rolls-Royce Mansory Wraith hitches a lift off the M60 hard shoulderCredit: mancpicss66A source said: “I bet he can’t believe his run of bad luck. “It’s such a fancy car but Rashford’s had his fair share of problems with it. “He only just got it fixed and now it’s needing to be repaired again. “Let’s hope he has more luck on the pitch.” READ MORE ON MARCUS RASHFORDIt’s not known who was behind the wheel when it broke down – just a mile from where the Rolls has twice been towed. His first Mansory Wraith was written off. The forward, 27, who is on loan from Manchester United at Aston Villa, was forced to replace the vehicle after it was involved in a collision on the M60 in September 2023. The motor was wrecked during a horror crash with a 74-year-old gran as he left United’s training ground in Carrington. Most read in FootballPhotos showed the car took a pounding, with extensive damage to the front, left front wing and a mangled rear left wheel and bumper. Both drivers escaped without injury. Rashford in court Rashford sold it for a hugely discounted £184,000 at auction – more than half a million less than he paid for it – and replaced it with an almost identical vehicle last May. Rashford, who pockets £350,000-a-week, ordered his new Rolls-Royce almost immediately – choosing white instead of grey. But his new model was seen being towed away on March 21 after breaking down on the same road for over an hour. The 6.6-litre ultra-luxury supercar can do 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds and has a top speed of 155mph. Rashford also owns a £390k Black Badge Cullinan and a £560k Cullinan Blue Shadow. His luxury car collection also boasts a £280,000 McLaren 765 Long Tail and a £350,000 Lamborghini Urus Performante. In July last year he was handed a six-month driving ban for speeding on the M60. He was travelling in his Rolls-Royce Cullinan Blue Shadow when clocked exceeding the 70mph limit. Last month, he was hit with a £800 fine for failing to give Cheshire Police information about who was driving his £100,000 electric BMW I7 motor on October 30 last year. At the time he was banned from the roads after being clocked at 104mph on a motorway in December 2023. Read More on The SunCrystal Palace are said to be lining up a Rashford transfer if Villa don’t sign him at the end of the season. A tyre fitter gets to work on yet another blowout on the footie aces’s carCredit: ZenpixThe Sun reported on the previous flat tyre near the latest one on the M60 motorwayAnother one of the star’s cars after being involved in a nasty shuntRashford will be hoping he has more luck on the pitch during his loan to Aston VillaCredit: GettyUnlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme – Sun Club.
