There were many suitors flirting with Marcus Rashford during the past summer and especially this winter. Names of the biggest European clubs were thrown around, all supposedly interested in signing the English international, with Barcelona being the club most frequently linked to him. However, it seems like that deal is unlikely to happen, as the Spanish giant doesn’t have the space or the funds to acquire him, according to Spanish outlet Relevo.Manchester United legends: “You should be ashamed”!However, 27-year-old forward has found a new suitor, and this time it’s from the Premier League. Aston Villa is extremely keen to bring the Manchester United star into their ranks, potentially on loan from the three-time Champions League winners.The fact that this move could be possible is backed by the situation at Villa, who lost their main attacking option. John Duran, a key player for the Champions League participant, moved to Saudi side Al Nassr in a deal worth 77 million euros, leaving a void in Villa’s attack. Another point that makes him a strong candidate for Villa is that manager Unai Emery is a big fan of the English forward’s style of play.Saudis play with people’s lives! Boniface-Ronaldo duo is off the tableHowever, things won’t go as smoothly if Villa decides to make the English international their primary target. Rashford’s weekly wages at Manchester United amount to 325 hundred pounds, which is certainly a hefty sum. If the Birmingham club can’t meet the financial demands of the speedy forward, they might turn to cheaper alternatives, such as Chelsea’s Joao Felix or PSG’s Marco Asensio.Additionally, it’s important to note that Englishman is eager to either stay at his home club, United, or join Barcelona. The latter option seems unlikely due to Barcelona’s financial constraints.🚨 Aston Villa considering move to sign Marcus Rashford on loan from Man Utd. 27yo preference Barcelona or #MUFC stay so would need convincing but #AVFC in talks on personal request of Unai Emery.
