Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is on the verge of sealing a loan move to Aston Villa, as confirmed by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The deal, which is reportedly “very close”, will see Rashford leave Old Trafford after falling out of favor under manager Ruben Amorim. The England international has not featured for United since December, sparking intense speculation over his future.
Aston Villa’s Transfer Ambitions
🔹 Villa boss, Unai Emery, is eager to strengthen his attack following Jhon Duran’s departure to Al Nassr.
🔹 The club is also in talks to sign Marco Asensio from Paris Saint-Germain on loan.
🔹 Rashford’s addition would provide Villa with a proven Premier League attacker to boost their top-four push.
Romano, updating on the situation, tweeted:
“Marco Asensio remains a separate topic from Rashford for Aston Villa. #AVFC have been in talks with PSG and agent Mendes, as reported. Rashford, very close… while talks for Asensio continue.”
What This Means for Rashford and United
With Rashford struggling for game time under Amorim, a temporary switch to Villa Park could revive his form and confidence ahead of the summer. However, it remains unclear whether the loan deal includes a purchase option.
As Rashford prepares to depart, fans are left wondering whether this marks the beginning of the end for his Manchester United career.
