'He's going to be fuming' - Arsenal hero claims Ollie Watkins may feel 'disrespected' over Man Utd loanee Marcus Rashford's growing impact at Villa Park

<p>Watkins has had to play second fiddle to Manchester United loanee Rashford in recent weeks, with the 29-year-old saying he was "fuming" at <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/fuming-ollie-watkins-reveals-he-confronted-unai-emery-after-playing-20-minutes-against-paris-saint-germain-aston-villa-star-vents-frustrations-with-goal-during-newcastle-thumping/bltc4714dc24507b4f8" target="_blank">being benched repeatedly</a>. Now, Arsenal hero Ian Wright has speculated that the ex-Brentford man may feel "disrespected" with Rashford's arrival and often being the second choice behind the 27-year-old.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He said on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n22EB2LIjOQ" target="_blank">Stick to Football</a>: “When Jhon Duran was at Aston Villa, the form of Ollie Watkins was in and out. Ollie gives me the impression that when he is dealing with that kind of pressure, he doesn’t get the shout. With Marcus Rashford coming in, maybe he feels disrespected. Of course, he has every reason to be frustrated about what’s going on, and I’m quite pleased that he said he was fuming – as a striker, you want to be out there scoring goals. When he played against Newcastle and started that game, he was brilliant – that would’ve been enough for me to give him back his spot. If he’s not getting his spot back when he’s doing the right stuff, he’s going to be fuming."</p>

WHAT IAN WRIGHT SAID

<p>While Wright stuck up for Watkins, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/roy-keane-defends-marcus-rashford-claim-unai-emery-aston-villa-outcast-ollie-watkins/blt73572189a8e003ec#csc5a8272c3029c4b2" target="_blank">United legend Roy Keane has defended Rashford</a> for starting ahead of his team-mate for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-aston-villa-matheus-nunes-pep-guardiola-marcus-rashford/blte4ec736bf2bc4525#cs0e33608a5f0edd5f" target="_blank">Villa's loss at Manchester City</a> in midweek. The Villa forward was the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/arsenal-slammed-ollie-watkins-bid-aston-villa-furious-jhon-duran-to-be-sold-instead/blt29106d5c6a5bbc88" target="_blank">subject of interest from Arsenal</a> in January, a team he grew up supporting, and if the Villans are not careful, he could be on the move this summer if he continues to have limited game time. Much may depend on whether Unai Emery's men decide to sign Rashford permanently, though.</p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>All eyes will be on whether Watkins starts up front for Villa in their FA Cup semi-final against Crystal Palace at Wembley on Saturday.</p>
