Marcus Rashford has made a strong impression during his loan spell at Aston Villa, scoring four goals and providing six assists across all competitions. Despite his resurgence under Unai Emery, Rashford’s future appears increasingly distant from Old Trafford.
The Manchester United forward is reportedly uninterested in a move to a London-based club, and his representatives oppose any part-exchange arrangements. Aston Villa, while keeping the door open, have yet to decide on exercising their £40m purchase option. Their recent 2-1 defeat to Manchester City has dented their hopes of a top-five Premier League finish, potentially affecting their long-term plans.
Sky Sports reports a strained relationship between Rashford and United head coach Ruben Amorim, suggesting a permanent departure is likely. Club insiders believe Rashford has flourished in a new environment, and both sides are planning for life without one another. Barcelona remains among the clubs monitoring his availability.
With United considering a summer overhaul, targets like Matheus Cunha are being prioritized. Cunha is seen as a versatile attacking option capable of fulfilling roles Rashford once did. Sky Sports pundits Gary Neville and Roy Keane acknowledged Rashford’s threat, especially his speed and movement into space, praising his recent display against Manchester City.
Rashford remains under contract at United until 2028, but signs point to a new chapter elsewhere.
