Marcus Rashford is about to complete his loan movement to Aston Villa, according to reports.
The Favor-Favour Manchester United Forward, 27, is not desired by Ruben Amorim and has been frozen since 12 December.
There were reports on Friday that Villa wanted to take the English international until the end of the season with a temporary deal.
And now the athletic and Fabrizio Romano claims that a deal is approaching that Rashford is approaching to join Unai Emery with the final details that are thrown away.
Villa is said to covers the majority of Rashford's but loving £ 325,000 a week united wages that he is paid after his five-year contract extension signed in 2023.
They also offer performance -related bonuses.
This is largely possible due to the fact that the Midlands side Jhon Duran sold to Al-Nassr for £ 64 million.
The reports also add that there will be an option for Villa to buy Rashford included in the deal – while United can dive for Mathys Tel ALS and when the output of the NO10 is sealed.
Rashford wants to get his career back on the right track after a difficult few years under both Erik ten Hag and now Amorim.
And the possibility to play in the Champions League again will undoubtedly appeal.
Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Monaco and AC Milan were all connected to the United Academy graduated – although the wage turned out to be a problem.
But now it seems that Rashford remains in the Premier League.
Ironically, Rashford made a sizzling start of the Amorim regime with three goals in the first two league games of the Portuguese manager – against Ipswich and Everton.
However, their relationship was soured when Amorim was told that Rashford had been out on a Friday night – less than 48 hours for the Everton match.
He called the attacker for a meeting where he denied the allegations – and they still don't see an eye to eye.
Rashford then made Amorim angry by publicly revealing that he is “ready for a new challenge” away from Old Trafford.
To make matters worse, Amorim said that he would rather put his 63-year-old goalkeeper coach Jorge Vita on the field instead of “a player who does not give the maximum every day”.
The player feels that he is receiving unfair treatment – and there are thoughts that the orders can be from above.
A source told the sun: “Marcus thinks Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants him out of the club and has in fact told head coach Ruben Amorim to get him out.
“He may have met his match with Sir Jim.
“Marcus feels like he is being picked.
“In the early days of training under Amorim, he tried to learn new systems and other players were struggling – but he was the one who received more vocal criticism.
“He knows he has to leave, but he is shocked that no large team has taken everything out of the closet to get him.
“There has been interest, but financially it is a complicated deal and that is quite a few teams.
“Marcus has been stunned by how quickly his relationship with Amorim fell apart.”
Former stars Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes all weighed on the debate.
Ferdinand suggested that Rashford could look at Amorim for his comments, while Rooney and Scholes were both in the attacker.
Rooney said: “I went to Carrington on Sunday to take my children to the game day and Marcus Rashford was on the training pitch with the fitness coach.
“But he was straightforward where the parents passed for the children's games.
“I looked at him and thought how embarrassing it must be for him while parents walked by. He is there and all parents walk past him.
“I was surprised when this started more than two years ago, but now I am not.
“I spoke with Marcus a few times and I gave him my thoughts and feelings he needs to leave the football club.
“Because whatever happens in his life and at Manchester United, he is not the same.
“For him to have a new start, he has to leave the club.”
Scholes added: “I think Marcus has abandoned many people with his attitude and I think that is what the manager is trying to say.
“You think of the young players who come through the team and think of [Alejandro] Garnacho.
“They are now looking up at people like Marcus and he is 27, he clearly does not train well, he does not live his life well. They are the examples that these people should look at.
“In a sense, he says that he does not want to be involved with the team and the fact that he abandons his teammates, he must be banned from the dressing room.
“If he is in and around and young people see it as an example, the sooner he is, the better he is.”
