Reports in Spain have claimed that Marcus Rashford is willing to make sacrifices to secure a transfer away from Man Utd to one club in particular.

Villa have the option to land Rashford permanently at the end of his loan spell, but are yet to begin negotiations. Several other clubs in Europe have also been linked with the 27-year-old, who remains tied down to the Red Devils until 2028.

Marcus Rashford’s short stay at Aston Villa has finally ended, but the forward’s story is a long way from being completed. What initially promised to be a temporary respite from the shadow of Old Trafford has reopened the book on his career.
