Aston Villa seems to be on loan Marcus Rashford.
Officials of the Birmingham club have thrown away the fine details of a temporary move for the former former English star of the English England. The wages of £ 315,000 a week of Rashford have turned out to be a large stumbling block to every movement-permanent or temporary.
It seems that Villa has concluded a deal with United about that – at least until the end of the current campaign. Villa's top earner is keeper Emi Martinez who attracts around £ 150,000 a week.
It is very unlikely that they will break their wage ceiling with more than double to land the 27-year-old. That means that United will pay him to play for another club for the rest of the season.
Villa needs a replacement for striker Jhon Duran who left this week for Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr in a deal with a value of £ 77.5 million. Emery needs plausible back -up both – where Rashford normally works – and through the middle, no. 1 striker Ollie Watkins must pick up an injury.
Villa reportedly recorded a clause with which they can buy the player at a later time. Rashford revealed in December that he was ready for a 'new challenge' away from his boys' club.
The 27-year-old cannot be seen in one of the last 12 games of United and only comes closest to the field when he was an unused replacement against Newcastle on December 30. Red Devil's Boss Ruben Amorim has not been satisfied with his performances in training and said from Rashford earlier this week: “Our team should be so much better with Rashford. But he has to change. If he changes, we are more than welcome to one to use talent like Rashford and we need it.
“At the moment I think it is really clear that we have to set a number of particular standards. We are waiting for Marcus, if he really wants it very much. You try to make it something personal, but it's not personal, I have Nothing against Marcus.
“The situation is the same for every player and the last time I spoke about that in the last game was my sense that I would not post a player who doesn't give the maximum. I didn't say I wouldn't post Marcus Rashford so it's the same situation If I feel this is the right time, I will play every player.
“We are a better team with Rashford and that is clear. He is a great talent, but I will not change my mind to the right moment, that is all and it is always the same answer.”
