Marcus Rashford has played his last game for Manchester United

It is extremely unlikely that Marcus Rashford will ever play for Manchester United again.

Loan move to Aston Villa

The 27-year-old Rashford completed a six-month loan move to Aston Villa on Sunday.

The deal includes a purchase option of £42 million, but the Birmingham club is not obligated to activate it.

Aston Villa is covering 75 percent of Rashford’s weekly salary of £375,000, a share that could increase to 90 percent if the English forward performs well at Villa Park.

Conflict with Amorim

Rashford’s departure from his boyhood club follows the arrival of Rúben Amorim, who reportedly criticized the player’s training performances and general attitude.

According to the reputable newspaper The Guardian, it is now highly unlikely that Rashford will ever return to Manchester United, even if Amorim is no longer in charge.

What’s next?

It is far from certain that Aston Villa will become Rashford’s permanent club.

The 27-year-old United-owned player was also linked with a move to FC Barcelona, but the Spanish giants simply could not afford a deal during this transfer window.

The question is whether the club’s financial situation will have improved by the time the summer transfer window opens.

With a contract at Manchester United until the summer of 2028, it is crucial for Rashford to find a club where he can get more playing time—otherwise, he risks stagnating in his career.
