The Aston Villa is borrowed from an agreement to secure Manchester United, Marcus Rashford, before the transmission period on Monday.
Accordingly BBC SportThe discussions between the clubs have continued considerably, although some details still have to be ironed before the deal is confirmed.
The chance to play under Villa Manager Unai Emery is a key factor for the attraction of the 27-year-old striker.
Rashford has not appeared since the head coach Ruben Amorim’s agreement for the Manchester Derby on December 12th.
Amorim’s recent comments showed his dissatisfaction with Rashford’s commitment.
The Portuguese coach even proposed last week that he would rather give his 63-year-old goalkeeper coach a place for the English international, quoting a perceived lack of effort.
Despite this criticism, Amorim Rashford’s talent admitted during a press conference on Wednesday: “Imagine a talent like Rashford, our team should be so much better with him – but he has to change. If he changes, we are more than welcome (to include him) – and we need it. But at that moment we have to define some standards. We are waiting for Rashford if he wants it really bad. “

His achievements include winning the Europa League, two FA trophies and two EFL trophies. During Amorim’s term of office, he initially had an influence, achieved Ipswich against Ipswich on November 24th and scored 4-0 against Everton in the following week.
However, Rashford was left out on December 15 for the 2-1 win of United against Manchester City. He later expressed his wish for a “new challenge”.
In this transfer window, Villa has already added the Spanish full -back Andres Garcia from Levante and the Dutch striker Donyell from Borussia Dortmund to her squad.
On the outgoing side, the Colombian striker Jhon Duran has become Saudi Pro League outfit al-Nassr in a deal that could rise to £ 71 million.
