Barcelona to cool Marcus Rashford trail as Aston Villa move nears

Barcelona have been linked with a move for the Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford, who will likely join Aston Villa soon.

According to a report by The Athletic, Aston Villa are keen on Marcus Rashford and they are close to sealing an initial loan deal to sign the Manchester United misfit. The upcoming agreement will likely contain a purchase option.

Meanwhile, Spanish journalist Matteo Moretto has revealed that Barcelona are close to walking away from the deal to sign the 27-year-old England international. In addition, the reliable Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Aston Villa’s interest in the player, and he has revealed that Aston Villa manager Unai Emery approves the move.

It will be an expensive acquisition and it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Negotiations have progressed well between all parties. Aston Villa have already been in touch with the player’s representatives regarding the move.

Marcus Rashford has struggled for regular game time at Manchester United this season, and he needs to move on in search of regular playing time. Signing him on loan could be a useful bit of business for Aston Villa. The Villans have been overly dependent on Ollie Watkins for goals, and they need more support in the attack. The 27-year-old is capable of operating anywhere across the front three.

Rashford needs a fresh start

Regular football at Aston Villa could bring out the best in Marcus Rashford once again. The 27-year-old will look to get his career back on track, and the West Midlands club could provide him with the platform he needs. They will be able to provide him with Champions League football during the second half of the campaign as well.

If he manages to impress at Villa Park during the second half of the season, he might be able to secure a big move in the summer. The Englishman is clearly not a key part of Manchester United’s plans, and it would be ideal for him to move on. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can work out a deal that benefits them both.

Rashford is very much at the peak of his powers, and he will look to get back to his best once again. If he manages to hit the ground running at Aston Villa, he could transform them in the attack. As for Barcelona, failure to offload players might have played spoilsport for them.
