"Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio were brilliant for this Aston Villa team, said Hargreaves on TNT Sports. I think Harvey Elliott can eventually go on to be a player as good as Martin Odegaard. I think technically he's fantastic, he hasn't had the opportunities at Liverpool obviously, because they had so many players. But I think centrally, he's a fabulous player. Obviously, Jadon, he's been up and down, but the talent is there, added Hargreaves."
"It will be interesting to see if Elliot and Sancho can hold down a regular starting spot at Aston Villa this season and help the team improve. There is no doubt that both players have the quality to compete at the highest level. They have shown that in the past, and they will be desperate to get their careers back on track with regular football."
Aston Villa completed loan signings of Harvey Elliott (loan with obligation to buy) and Jadon Sancho (season-long loan from Manchester United) to bolster the squad. Monchi finalized those moves before leaving the club and will be replaced by Roberto Olabe. Owen Hargreaves praised Elliott's technical ability and compared his potential to Martin Odegaard, while noting Sancho's evident talent despite inconsistency. Hargreaves called the late-window acquisitions a masterstroke and credited Unai Emery's ability to revive players who struggled elsewhere. Both signings aim to provide technical quality, compete for starting places, and help Aston Villa improve after a poor start.
