Marcus Rashford's Aston Villa Move Almost a Done Deal!
Aston Villa is on the verge of securing a sensational loan deal for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford. Talks are in the final stages, and while some details still need ironing out, significant progress has been made. Villa is actively working on financial terms, ensuring United is satisfied with salary coverage while also convincing Rashford himself. The appeal of playing in the Champions League is a key factor in Rashford’s willingness to make the switch, and Unai Emery is fully behind the move.
The deal is expected to include an option to buy, and Villa is prepared to cover a significant portion of Rashford’s hefty £325,000-per-week salary, along with offering performance-based bonuses. Emery has personally pushed for the move, believing Rashford is one of the most dangerous attacking players in the world. He sees the English forward as a player who can regain top form under his management.

Rashford, now 27, has attracted interest from top European clubs, including Barcelona, Milan, and Borussia Dortmund. However, he is set to remain in the Premier League, joining Villa for the rest of the 2024-25 season. His contract with United runs until 2028, but he has been frozen out of the squad under Ruben Amorim, missing the last 12 games in all competitions. His last appearance in the matchday squad was on December 30 against Newcastle, where he remained an unused substitute.
United’s decision to send Rashford to Villa is an interesting one, considering their past reluctance to strengthen domestic rivals. But the new United leadership is taking a different approach. Given Rashford's current situation, moving him on makes sense—especially with Villa covering a significant portion of his wages. If he rediscovers his form, it could increase his market value for a potential summer transfer.
For Villa, this is a statement signing. They recently brought in Donyell Malen from Borussia Dortmund but needed another attacking option following Jhon Durán’s move to Al Nassr. Adding a player of Rashford’s quality and experience—especially one with Champions League eligibility—could be a game-changer for Emery’s squad.
So, the big question now is: can Rashford reignite his career at Villa Park? Fans are eager to see if this move provides the fresh start he needs to get back to his best. Stay tuned, because this deal is happening!
