[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, Marcus Rashford is set to join Aston Villa on loan. Reports indicate that Rashford currently earns around £325,000 per week, with Manchester United set to cover 25% of his salary, amounting to £81,000 per week. An insider from Manchester United revealed that the club has made it clear to Rashford that he will not play for them during Ruben Amorim’s tenure. The source stated, “Rashford has always said he would never play for another club in England because he is a Manchester United fan. Earlier this season, he began to consider that he needed a transfer and wanted to go to a big European club. The reality is that he hasn’t received the interest from other clubs that he expected. Aston Villa first showed preliminary interest in him last November. Amorim has made it clear that he has no future at Old Trafford. Aston Villa is offering him two things – to keep his salary unchanged and to participate in the Champions League.” The insider also revealed that Rashford has a chance to return to the England national team, as Thomas Tuchel has told Rashford and his agent that he considers Marcus to be an important part of England’s future development.
