Rashford could join Villa on loan before Monday’s transfer deadline

Aston Villa are closing in on a loan deal for the Red Devils attacker Marcus Rashford before the end of the summer transfer window.

The discussions between the 2 teams are advanced, but there is more work to be done before things become official.

Marcus hasn’t played for Man United since being dropped by manager Ruben Amorim for the Manchester derby at the beginning of December.

In the past week, Manchester United’s head coach revealed that he would rather give a place on the bench to his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach because he didn’t like Rashord’s work ethic.

Yesterday, Aston Villa sold Jhon Duran to Al-Nassr in a transfer that could be worth over 71 million pounds. Arsenal want to buy their other forward, Ollie Watkins, so they need to act fast and get a backup in the attack.

Villa are in the 8^th place in the EPL and finished in the top 8 in the new UCL group stage and will be part of the 1/8 finals of the most prestigious European competition.
