Rashford spent time on loan at Aston Villa, where he scored four goals and made six assists in 17 games under manager Unai Emery. However, he returned to Manchester United after getting injured during a Dubai fitness camp.

Villa had the option to buy Rashford for £40M, but it seems unlikely they will exercise this option. Meanwhile, discussions are underway between Zahavi and Laporta about a potential transfer, but Manchester United is unlikely to sell Rashford for a low price, given his current form and prime age.
