Rashford is currently playing at Aston Villa on loan from Manchester United, with the Birmingham club holding an option to buy him outright for £40 million this summer. So far, Villa Park officials have not announced whether they intend to exercise the clause. Since joining Villa, Rashford has made a total of 17 appearances, starting in 10 of those games. He has contributed four goals and five assists in 937 minutes of football, averaging a goal contribution every 104 minutes.
Reports from English media suggest that Rashford is unlikely to play for Manchester United again while Ruben Amorim remains the manager. Additionally, there is growing speculation that Rashford himself is attracted by the prospect of a move to Barcelona.
