Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford could return to the team sooner than expected. According to The Sun, United are in talks with Aston Villa about ending his loan deal early.
It all started when Rashford pulled a leg muscle in a recent training session. The injury is serious and could keep him out for the entire 2024/25 season. Even if he recovers relatively quickly, he won’t be able to play in Aston Villa’s final game against Tottenham Hotspur on May 18th. Therefore, this game was supposed to be his last chance of the season and now he may not make it.
Rashford’s current loan deal was not due to expire until the end of the season. However, with him now unable to play, there seems to be little point in him staying at Aston Villa. As a result, Manchester United and Aston Villa are beginning to discuss an early termination of the loan deal. If both sides agree, Rashford could soon return to Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium.
However, even if he does rejoin United early, his future with the club remains a question mark. According to several media reports, new manager Ruben Amorim has not included Rashford in his plans for next season. This means that Rashford could be on United’s transfer list.
Over the past few seasons, Rashford’s form has been up and down and his performances have not been considered consistent. As a result, United are also considering whether to sell him in the summer transfer window. As of now, the club is willing to listen to offers from other teams for him. Rashford himself has been made aware of the situation and is due to speak to the club’s hierarchy in mid-June to discuss his career prospects.
Aston Villa, for their part, have an option to buy Rashford out for £40 million. However, they have yet to decide whether to do so. Aston Villa’s decision could be influenced by several factors, such as Rashford’s ability to recover from his injury, his willingness to stay and the club’s chances of qualifying for European competitions next season, especially the Champions League.
Rashford wants the next team he plays for to qualify for the Champions League. If Aston Villa manage to qualify for the Champions League, then they would naturally be one of the options that Rashford would be interested in. However, Spanish giants Barcelona have also been linked with a move for Rashford.
Overall, Rashford is currently facing a major turning point in his career. Whether he stays in the Premier League or moves to another country will depend on the outcome of negotiations and his recovery from injury over the next few months.
