Marcus Rashford said goodbye to teammates in Manchester United on Saturday while he is on his way to his move to Aston Villa.
The 27-year-old spoke with United Staff and players in Carrington after he received the green light for his loan switch to Villa Park.
Personal conditions have been agreed and the finer details of the conditions between clubs are smoothed out.
Unai Emery has wanted to strengthen its striking options and add pace after the £ 65 million sale of Jhon Duran to Al Nassr. But the relocation for Rashford is not without risks after its versions for United in recent months.
Rashford has been in United since he was eight years old and is expected to complete his move within the next 24 hours.
The International of England fell out of favor in his boys' club and may leave before the window closes on Monday. Rashford's wage of approximately £ 350,000 is well above the salary of Villa's top earner, although to be EMI Martinez.
It is understood that Villa will contribute a considerable part of the salary of Rashford, which will include performance -based clauses. The agreement has also been established to include a purchase option at the end of the season.
After the sale of Jhon Duran to Al Nassr for a deal that could reach £ 70 million, Villa lagged behind with Ollie Watkins as their only senior center-forward. Emery said that Watkins would not leave this month, despite an offer from Arsenal last Wednesday.
Although Arsenal believed that Watkins was open to join them, Emery tried to close the move on Friday, in which Villa prepared to compete against Wolves in Molineux on Saturday. He wanted to bring in Joao Felix, but AC Milan also pushes to sign the Chelsea Forward.
Rashford is not the only departure of United on Saturday. The Dutch left back Tyrell Malacia has also said goodbye to teammates at Carrington while looking forward to joining Benfica.
