Marcus Rashford’s stance on staying at Aston Villa as £40m transfer hangs in balance
Marcus Rashford would rather stay at Aston Villa than move abroad this summer. The 27-year-old joined on loan from Manchester United in February and has relished his return to first-team action after being frozen out by Ruben Amorim.
Villa have a £40million option to make the move permanent, although their transfer plans could hinge on which European competition they qualify for. Rashford had looked favourably upon a prospective move to Barcelona in the winter, but Express Sport understands that a successful spell working with manager Unai Emery – under whom he has scored four goals and registered five assists – has swayed him towards staying at Villa Park.
