Marcus Rashford is expected to leave Manchester United this summer after completing a loan to Aston Villa and the attacker has one requirement he does not want to give up
Marcus Rashford stands for Champions League football. The attacker will return to Manchester United after the end of his loan to Aston Villa, but will leave Old Trafford this summer and his future will remain in the air
Rashford joined Villa earlier this year after he had gotten out of grace under Ruben Amorim. The attacker found a new life of life under Unai Emery before injury limited his season.
The side of Midlands had an option of £ 40 million agreed to sign the 27-year-old as part of his loan agreement. But despite the fact that Emery apparently wanted to extend Rashford's stay, the preference of the United Academy product has been elsewhere.
And after the defeat against the Red Devils at the weekend, the Villans were not eligible for the Champions League. That seems to kill every hope that Rashford is being persuaded to draw permanently in Villa Park.
Rashford marked the end of his first enchantment away from United, but expressed his gratitude to the club. He said on social media: “Just a message of thanks to everyone here at Villa for what (apart from injury) has been an incredible few months for me.
“It is a really special club and I appreciated the way Villa fans embraced me on the field with open arms from 1st minute.
“Manager, team and coaching staff have all been brilliant. I know it is a huge disappointment not to have made the Champions League spot that everyone worked so hard for the entire season, but I know this club and the team will be stronger.”
Because United wants to bring money to the club this summer, after they have put their entire team for sale, they are now in a position where a short deal for Rashford seems unlikely. The striker holds a movement that can offer a place in the top competition of Europe.
Rashford is supposed to be enthusiastic about moving to Barcelona, ​​during a transfer to a rival of the Premier League. The sports director of the Catalan club, Deco, has admitted that Barca is interested in Rashford and Liverpool -wing player Luis Diaz this summer.
“We love Luis, we love Rashford, and we love other players,” Deco told the Catalan radio station RAC 1. “Out of respect, talking about players who have contraction with other clubs is complicated.
“When we go to the market, there are names that we know that the team can improve.”
