Marcus Rashford was linked to a move to Barcelona and later secured a loan to Aston Villa. Barcelona is still interested in signing the Manchester United outcast, according to a TEAMtalk report. Even though Aston Villa has a £40 million purchase option to sign him permanently, the player has made the decision to leave the team when the loan agreement expires.
At the end of the current campaign, the West Midlands club can choose to pay £40 million to sign him permanently. Whether they can persuade him to stay in the long run is still up in the air. At Manchester United, the Englishman has no future.
Although Rashford is a talented player, he hasn’t been playing at his best lately. He will be anxious to return to his peak performance and restore his agility and form. The 27-year-old might be enticed to accept a permanent contract with Aston Villa if he can make an impression throughout the remaining months of the season.
Rashford might be a good addition to Aston Villa’s offense, which needs more depth and skill. In the last third, he and Ollie Watkins might make a strong combination. The English international could eventually be a benefit to the team because he is adaptable enough to play anywhere in the front three.
