In a shocking turn of events, Manchester United's Marcus Rashford has bid farewell to his teammates as he prepares to join Aston Villa on loan. The 27-year-old England international has agreed to personal terms with Villa and is expected to finalize the move within the next 24 hours, according to MailOnline.
Rashford's departure from Manchester United marks the end of an era, with the forward having been at the club since the age of eight. Despite his long-standing association with United, Rashford has fallen out of favor in recent months, leading to his impending exit.
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has been keen to bolster his attacking options following the £65m sale of Jhon Duran to Al Nassr. While Rashford's performances for United have been inconsistent of late, Emery is willing to take a gamble on the talented forward.
The loan deal is expected to include a significant contribution from Villa towards Rashford's £350,000 weekly wages, as well as performance-based clauses. Additionally, the agreement is set to include a buy option at the end of the season, giving Villa the opportunity to make Rashford's move permanent.
Rashford's arrival at Villa Park will provide a much-needed boost to the club's attacking ranks, which have been depleted by the departure of Duran. With Ollie Watkins currently the only senior centre-forward at the club, Rashford's addition will provide Emery with a new attacking dimension.
