Marcus Rashford, 27, has shown his quality on loan at Aston Villa since the new year, but his long-term future is still unclear. After a difficult spell at Manchester United, where he ended up in manager Ruben Amorim’s freezer, Rashford has gained new confidence in the Villa shirt. But even if he impresses, it is far from certain that the transfer will be permanent.
It is his impressive salary that is causing problems, with £16.5 million a year it takes a lot for someone to be willing to take over that responsibility from Manchester United. Moreover, Marcus Rashford is not the only one on loan. Marco Asensio, who has really revitalized his career, Aston Villa has not secured a buyout option with Paris Saint-Germain. The signals from Villa Park are that buying the Spanish right winger is priority number one this summer.
Rashford could be sent back to Old Trafford if Asensio turns out to be expensive.
