Aston Villa Completed The Loan Move For Manchester United Star Marcus Rashford Bolstering The Attacking Option Ahead Of The Champions League Playoffs
The report from BBC states that Villa is covering 75% of Rashford's wages but is not paying any loan fee for this move. After the loan tenure, there would be a £40m buy option for Villa which could make the Englishman permanent to the team. However, it is very unlikely that the Lions consider the buy option with such a huge amount.
Rashford thanked his former club and said he is ready to take "New Challenge"
Performance of Rashford would be a deciding factor for his future in Villa Park stadium. The player bade goodbye to his former club and posted on social media stating “I would like to thank Manchester United and Aston Villa for making this loan deal happen and I wish everyone at Manchester United all the best for the rest of the season.
“I was lucky to have a few clubs approach me but Aston Villa was an easy decision - I really admire the way that Aston Villa has been playing this season, and the manager's ambitions. I just want to play football and am excited to get started” he added regarding his future to new club is England.
Unai Emery is Getting Chance to Create History with the Club in Champions League
Unai Emery’s “need” for “new players” is currently being considered by the club as they are now eyeing another loan deal for the PSG forward. The Lions are very close to including Marco Asensio from PSG as a part of a loan deal until the end of summer. This can help Villa to fill the gap of selling Jhon Duran to Al Nassr with a £71m deal.
Bolstering forward option would help Emery to compete in the Champions league round of 16 and extend the way further to the Quarter or Semifinal which last happened in 1982-83. So, there is a chance for Emery and Club to make history with the club and it looks like the Management is heavily working on it.
