Man United’s Marcus Rashford joins Aston Villa on loan

Marcus Rashford, an England international, has joined Aston Villa on loan, according to both Premier League clubs, putting an end to a difficult few weeks for the England international after he was forced out of Old Trafford.

Rashford, who has been capped 60 times by England, will join Villa until the end of the 2024-25 season.

Aston Villa was a simple choice for me despite the fact that I had a few clubs approach. I really admire the way that Aston Villa have been playing this season, and the manager’s ambitions. Rashford announced on social media late on Sunday that she was just excited to start playing football.

“I want to thank Manchester United and Aston Villa for facilitating this loan agreement,” he continued. “I wish everyone at Manchester United the best of luck for the rest of the season.”

After entering the senior side in 2016 and playing in the youth system at Manchester United, Rashford has scored 138 goals in 426 games. He has won two League Cups, two FA Cups, and two League Cups.

The striker, who admitted he was ready for a new challenge in his career, had not played for United since mid-December.

Ruben Amorim, manager of United, questioned the forward’s work ethic and defended his team’s decision to add him after their defeat at Fulham last month. He said he would prefer to have a goalkeeper coach on the bench than a player who doesn’t give their all.

Rashford has also scored 17 goals for England. For his nation, he has represented his country at two World Cups and two European Championships.

In addition to signing Andres Garcia from Levante and Dutch striker Donyell Malen from Borussia Dortmund, Villa has signed both.
