The Aston Villa manager, Unai Emery, talked about signing Marcus Rashford permanently from Manchester United at the end of the season.
Manchester United are gearing up for an important transfer window. One of the discussions will definitely be about the future of Marcus Rashford. He fell out of favor under Ruben Amorim in December and was left out of the squad for over a month. He secured a loan move to Aston Villa till the end of the season, where he has regained his lost confidence.
Whether Aston Villa will sign the English international or not is still up in the air. Rashford scored two goals against Preston North End to help Villa qualify for the semi-final of the FA Cup against Crystal Palace. The manager, Unai Emery, talked about signing Rashford permanently at the end of the season.

“Not yet. The most important thing is the challenge now and this afternoon, recovering and then preparing for the match against Brighton tomorrow. A decision about each individual player, it is to get the best of them and the best of us. We don’t want to waste time thinking about it.”
Unai Emery, when asked about whether Aston Villa will sign Marcus Rashford permanently or not.
The Villans have a clause of £40m to sign the Englishman from Manchester United permanently in the summer. However, the club are going through financial issues. So, they have to think about both the positive and negative aspects of the move.
Marcus Rashford is a forward who plays with sensational pace and a streetwise edge. He is a blur on the break, using his long strides to leave defenders grasping at air. Rashford’s finishing is instinctive—whether it’s a curling shot from distance or a cool slot-in up close.
Tricky and direct, he loves taking on his man, cutting inside with a flash of flair. Off the ball, he has got a knack for finding gaps, always lurking for that killer run. Confidence fuels the Englishman, though it can flicker. When he’s on, Rashford is a thrilling mix of raw talent and relentless drive.

Rashford has scored 4 goals in 20 matches so far in the Premier League 2024/2025 season. Overall, his goals scored per 90 minutes is 0.3. Moreover, the Englishman’s total G/A (goals + assists) is 7 for this season. His goal involvement equates to 0.53 per 90 minutes. The winger’s non-penalty xG per 90 minutes is 0.31.
If Rashford continues with his good form at Aston Villa till the end of the season, then that will force the club to buy him permanently for £40m . United don’t want him anymore and so it will be in the best interests of the Red Devils if Villa buy him permanently.
