Marcus Rashford, 27, left Manchester United for a loan spell at Aston Villa in the winter, and has found his form in recent weeks with 3 goals and 5 assists in 14 games. Now that the loan period is almost over, his future is uncertain.
According to Sky Sports, Crystal Palace are considering a “sensational” attempt to sign Rashford – if he does not stay permanently at Villa. The club is closely monitoring the situation and could strike this summer.
