Aston Villa make decision on Rashford

Rashford is likely to continue playing for Aston Villa next season.

The Times revealed that Aston Villa will buy Rashford outright at the end of the season for £40m, despite the controversy surrounding his remaining contract with Manchester United. Earlier this week, British media revealed that Rashford and his representatives could demand a fee of up to £20m from Manchester United before the player moves to Aston Villa on a permanent basis.

This relates to Rashford's contract with Manchester United, which runs until 2028 and is worth more than £300,000 a week at Old Trafford. The England striker believes that if United want to part ways with him early, they will have to pay a compensation fee.

This information then caused a big controversy, because MU is having financial difficulties and just wants to sell Rashford as soon as possible. If Rashford makes it difficult during the negotiation process, the "Red Devils" may not be able to sell the player to Aston Villa.

The Midlands club have the option to release Rashford at the end of the season. However, in an interview with Marca , Aston Villa director of football Monchi praised Rashford, saying that Villa Park is the ideal environment for Rashford to shine again.

“Players like Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio have improved significantly since they arrived at the club,” said Monchi. “At Aston Villa, players will get better, and that is our biggest advantage, far beyond reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League or maintaining our position in Europe.”

Monchi also hopes that examples like Asensio and Rashford will be a springboard for them to continue bringing struggling stars at many big clubs to Aston Villa.
