Aston Villa make decision on Rashford

Aston Villa are set to trigger the buyout clause in Marcus Rashford's move from Manchester United after raving about the England international's performances.

Rashford is likely to continue playing for Aston Villa next season.

The Times revealed that Aston Villa will buy Rashford outright at the end of the season for £40m, despite the controversy surrounding his remaining contract with Manchester United. Earlier this week, British media revealed that Rashford and his agent could demand a fee of up to £20m from Manchester United before the player moves to Aston Villa on a permanent basis.

This relates to Rashford's contract with Manchester United, which runs until 2028 and is worth more than £300,000 a week at Old Trafford. The England striker believes that if MU wants to part with him early, they will have to pay a compensation fee.

This information then caused a big controversy, because MU is having financial difficulties and just wants to sell Rashford as soon as possible. If Rashford makes it difficult during the negotiation process, the "Red Devils" may not be able to sell the player to Aston Villa.

The Midlands club have the option to release Rashford at the end of the season. However, in an interview with Marca , Aston Villa director of football Monchi praised Rashford. He also said that Villa Park is the ideal environment for Rashford to shine again.

Monchi said: “Players like Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio have improved significantly since coming to the club. Coming to Aston Villa, players will get better, and that is our biggest advantage, far beyond reaching the Champions League quarter-finals or maintaining our position in Europe.”

Monchi also hopes that examples like Asensio and Rashford will be a springboard for them to continue bringing struggling stars at many big clubs to Aston Villa.
