The new chapter for Marcus Rashford is about to begin! Ever since Ruben Amorim took over the manager position from Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford, the Englishman and the Portuguese have failed to find common ground. The gaffer harshly criticized Rashford’s work ethic and behaviour in training sessions, hinting at his imminent departure, which happened in the early hours of the deadline day!Aston Villa is delighted to announce the loan signing of Marcus Rashford from Manchester United. pic.twitter.com/Zj9seYUIq0— Aston Villa (@AVFCOfficial) February 2, 2025 England international moves to Aston Villa, where he’ll play on loan until the end of the season. The Villans will then have an option to buy him out for €50 million. This deal should work well both for the player and the club, as Rashford will have a chance to revive his career, while Unai Emery’s crew will get a proper replacement for Jhon Duran, who had previously joined the Saudi Al-Nassr.However, United’s interest in the deal is not negligible, as the Birmingham side agreed to cover between 75 and 90% of the forward’s salary, which will represent a significant relief for the Red Devils’ budget.Amorim gets his first signing in UnitedGiven that Rashford played the last match in United’s jersey back on December 12 against Viktoria Plzen in the UEFA Europa League and that he’s been in United’s Premier League squad only once (but benched) against Newcastle, it was clear that his spell at Old Trafford was over. Now, he is using the same “resurrection” path as Jadon Sancho (moved to Chelsea) and Antony (joined the Spanish Real Betis).ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 24Saturday Nott.Forest – Brighton 7-0 (3-0)/Dunk 12 og, Gibbs-White 25, Wood 32, 64, 69 pen, Williams 89, Silva 90+1/Bournemouth – Liverpool 0-2 (0-1)/Salah 30 pen. 75/Everton – Leicester 4-0 (3-0)/Doucoure 1, Beto 6, 45+2, Ndiaye 90/Ipswich – Southampton 1-2 (1-1)/Delap 31 – Aribo 21, Onuachu 87/Newcastle – Fulham 1-2 (1-0)/Murphy 37 – Jimenez 61, Muniz 82/Wolverhampton – Aston Villa 2-0 (1-0)/Bellegarde 12, Cunha 90+7/Sunday Brentford – Tottenham 0-2 (0-1)/Janelt 29 og, Sarr 87/Man Utd – Crystal Palace 0-2 (0-0)/Mateta 64, 89/Arsenal – Man.
