Gary Neville weighed on the loan from Marcus Rashford to Aston Villa, after it was officially announced that he would leave Man United and participate in Unai Emery until the end of the season.
The 27-year-old underwent his medical on Sunday evening after he had already agreed a move to Villa Park, after he had fallen out of grace under United boss Ruben Amorim.
The deal will be a first loan until the end of the season, but it will also contain an option for Villa to permanently sign Rashford for a pre -graduated fee, which is understood £ 40 million.
It is understood that Villa will cover 70 percent of its wages, while the loan package will include bonuses for progressing Europe and for following the Champions League again next season.
Neville could not mask his grief, because Rashford had been a Red Devil for 20 years after he had turned 7 years old, but he admitted that a move from Old Trafford can be favorable for the Carrington graduated.
“I feel some emotions … a touch of sadness,” he said.
'Thinking of Marcus Rashford as an eight, the nine-year-old United Academy player, given a big contract a few years ago, scored 30 goals a few years ago and on top of his game, but the deterioration in recent years Was alarming.
'It is an absolute must he has to leave from Manchester United and Old Trafford, and I feel sad and says that even a few weeks ago, let alone a few months ago.
'I thought that when Ruben came in, we would see a clean slate – it has become 10 times worse under Amorim than under ten hag in the sense that some things that his manager said have been absolutely brutal.
“He has only been to him for five or six weeks and they are a spot on his character. So he has to come out, remove the freedom from Old Trafford and spend time in another club.
'In terms of his move, he goes to a team that is currently much better than Manchester United. They are in the Champions League, in the FA Cup they are with a scream of the weather in the Champions League. '
Neville further explained that playing under Emery could be favorable for Rashford and give him a fresh, structured start to United.
The Spaniard has a proven track record in his 21-year management career.
At that time he won 11 awards, including four Europa League and two Ligue 1 titles.
Playing in Villa can dimming the spotlights on Rashford and give him the chance to streamline his attention to his duties on the field, away from the largest club in England.
'The most important thing for me is that I think he will play under a world -class coach. What he needs is instruction, “Neville continued.
'He needs structure and direction and discipline in his game. He will work for four or five months with one of the best coaches in Europe.
'Every distraction he has must go. Every form of Fall -Out that he may have had at Manchester United and what happened must go … He has to play football, enjoy playing in a really good team, in a great club with a fantastic manager. They are the big plus points.
'He goes to a better team with better players and a better coach. That is not critical about Amorim, but Emery is one of the very best.
“I really want him to succeed, gets smile on his face and loves his football again. It is the right move for both parties. '
Rashford has not played for United since mid -December when he came out with Amorim.
The Portuguese boss has publicly questioned the lifestyle and dedication of Rashford and warned him that he should change if he had hope to break back into his plans.
The attacker – who has 138 United goals to his name after making 426 senior performances for the Old Trafford -Outfit – said goodbye to his teammates on Saturday.
