In a shocking development, Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has agreed to personal terms with Aston Villa, paving the way for an imminent loan move.
According to sources, the deal is nearing completion, with all parties working diligently to finalize the agreement.
Rashford’s potential move to Villa Park has been facilitated by Aston Villa manager Unai Emery, who personally reached out to the England international to discuss the project and the prospect of Champions League football. The 25-year-old striker is reportedly attracted to Emery’s vision and the opportunity to play in Europe’s premier club competition.
The loan deal, which is expected to be finalized soon, will see Aston Villa and Manchester United share the cost of Rashford’s salary. Negotiations are ongoing regarding the inclusion of a buy option clause, which would allow Villa to make the move permanent at the end of the loan period.
Rashford’s departure from Old Trafford would mark a significant change in his career, with the forward having come through the Manchester United academy and establishing himself as a key player for both club and country.
As the deal nears completion, Aston Villa fans will be eagerly anticipating the arrival of Rashford, who is expected to bolster the team’s attacking options and provide a significant boost to their push for European qualification.
