Aston Villa have signed Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford on loan until the end of the season, with permanent moves considered.

Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford have done quite well, and there have been rumours that Aston Villa could look to sign them permanently. A report from Give Me Sport has claimed that the Villans are likelier to sign Asensio on a permanent deal instead of Rashford.

The Manchester United striker is reportedly keen on a move to Barcelona or PSG in the summer. However, it will be interesting to see if Aston Villa can sign the 29-year-old Spanish international in the summer.

Asensio has done quite well for the West Midlands club, and he could prove to be a key player for them in the coming season as well. The Spanish playmaker is at the peak of his powers, and he needs to play regularly. Aston Villa will be able to provide him with the opportunity to play more often.

Asensio could be a useful player

The 29-year-old seems to have adapted to Premier League football, and he will look to improve further next season. Aston Villa are hoping to put together a formidable team capable of fighting for trophies regularly, and Asensio has won several major trophies during his time at Real Madrid. His winning experience could prove to be invaluable for the Aston Villa dressing room.

He is likely to be available for a reasonable amount of money in the summer. The player is unwanted at PSG, and the French outfit are unlikely to stand in his way if he wants to leave them permanently. It remains to be seen whether Aston Villa can negotiate a deal for the Spaniard in the coming weeks. Given his stature at the French club, he could be available on a bargain.

The former Real Madrid forward is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to hit top form and help Aston Villa win major trophies in the coming seasons. As for Rashford, he is unwanted at Manchester United, and the Red Devils could look to sell him permanently. He dreams of a move to Barcelona or PSG. It will be interesting to see if the European and heavyweights are willing to provide him with an exit route.
