Ruben Amorim has refused to hand a lifeline to Marcus Rashford, who reportedly has no future at Manchester United beyond the 2024/25 season.
According to a report by the Daily Star, Marcus Rashford will unlikely play again for Manchester United after his loan spell with Aston Villa ends. Ruben Amorim will not offer the English attacker a way back into his team. Meanwhile, the Red Devils want around £60 million to part ways with the academy graduate if negotiations with Aston Villa resume over a permanent move.
Marcus Rashford and his resurgence
Marcus Rashford has done reasonably well to resurrect his stuttering fortunes since joining Aston Villa in a loan deal until the end of the 2024/25 season. The Englishman saw his stock plummet at Manchester United only 18 months after enjoying his most productive campaign with the Red Devils.
However, the 27-year-old attacker has come leaps and bounds at Aston Villa, establishing himself as a pivotal figure for the West Midlands outfit. While Rashford has yet to find the back of the net at Aston Villa, he has made his mark with his creative output, providing four assists thus far.
Meanwhile, Rashford’s progress at Aston Villa has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Recent reports have linked the English international with Bayern Munich and Barcelona. However, he might remain at Aston Villa beyond the summer transfer window if he convinces the Villans to seal a permanent deal.
What next?
While Aston Villa might launch the offensive for a permanent move for Marcus Rashford, he might not have a way back at Manchester United. Ruben Amorim has refused to hand the academy graduate a lifeline despite his exploits for the West Midlands club, which have earned him a recall to his national squad.
While Amorim has decided to keep Rashford away from Manchester United, the Red Devils want around £60 million to part ways with the 27-year-old Englishman in the summer transfer window. Meanwhile, Manchester United will dip into the market for a goalscorer, with Amorim eager to have more firepower in his team.
Meanwhile, it is unclear if Aston Villa will be open to coughing up £60 million to seal a permanent deal for Rashford, considering reports have pointed to a purchase option worth £40 million. However, the English international will unlikely play again for Manchester United again.
