Manchester United outcast Marcus Rashford made a surprise loan move to Aston Villa this January transfer window. The shocking loan move has left fans flabbergasted. The 27-year-old has agreed on personal terms with Aston Villa, for a temporary move until the end of the season.

English forward Marcus Rashford has not played for Manchester United since December last year. His last appearance came against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League. Since then, he has been left out of Ruben Amorim‘s squad. The manager cited poor training efforts and his attitude as major issues. Rashford had also clearly stated his intent in taking up a new challenge away from United.

The 27-year-old forward has now been provided a way out. Ending his two-decade long association with Man Utd, Rashford has now agreed to join Aston Villa on a six-month long loan deal. Villa will pay 75 percent of his massive £325,000 per-week wages. Moreover, he is set to replace forward Jhon Duran, who most recently departed Villa to join Saudi PL side Al-Nassr.

It remains to be seen whether Marcus Rashford succeeds in making a comeback. He has scored just seven goals and provided three assists in 23 appearances for his boyhood club this season. His new transfer deal also consists of a buy-out clause worth £40 million. Therefore, Aston Villa can opt to sign him for another three and a half years, at the end of the season.

Moreover, Rashford is not Aston Villa’s only signing this January, with the club having spent heavily in acquiring new forwards. They have already signed Donyell Malen from Dortmund, and are on course to signing PSG forward Marco Asensio on loan as well.
