Transfer: Rashford close to joining Man Utd’s EPL rivals

Manchester United forward, Marcus Rashford, is set to join Aston Villa on a loan deal.

According to football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, the move is believed to be “very close”.

Villa manager, Unai Emery, is keen to bolster his attack following Jhon Duran’s transfer to Al Nassr.

The Midlands club are also in talks to bring in Marco Asensio from Paris Saint-Germain.

Romano wrote on X: “Marco Asensio remains separate topic from Rashford for Aston Villa.

“#AVFC have been in talks with Paris Saint-Germain and agent Mendes, as reported.

“Asensio can now leave on loan with Ndour joining Fiorentina.

“Rashford, very close… while talks for Asensio continue.”

Rashford has fallen out of favour under Ruben Amorim and has not played for United since last December.
