Across 17 appearances, Rashford registered four goals and six assists, helping Villa in their push for Champions League football.
While Unai Emery’s side have a £40million option to make the move permanent, there is uncertainty over whether the deal will be activated.
As per Manchester Evening News, Rashford is yet to make a final decision.
United boss Ruben Amorim is not expected to reintegrate him into his plans for pre-season.

“Manager, team, and coaching staff have all been brilliant.
“I know it’s a huge disappointment not to have made the Champions League place – which everyone worked so hard all season for.
“But I know this club and team will come back stronger.”
His message prompted a wave of support in the comments.
Villa forward Morgan Rogers replied: “My brother.”
Current United players including Antony, Christian Eriksen, Joshua Zirkzee, Andre Onana, Ethan Wheatley, Joe Hugill, and Godwill Kukonki all liked the post.
So too did ex-Reds Jesse Lingard, Donny van de Beek, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
As it stands, Rashford is expected to report back to Carrington for the first day of pre-season, but his future could become clearer in the coming weeks.
