Marcus Rashford speaks frankly after leaving Man Utd

(Dan Tri) - Speaking on the day of his debut for Aston Villa, striker Rashford said he had an easy decision to leave Man Utd.

Marcus Rashford has officially left Man Utd on loan to Aston Villa. The Birmingham club has the right to buy the English striker for only 40 million pounds. They will pay 70% of Rashford's 325,000 pounds/week salary, with Man Utd paying the remaining 30%.

Yesterday (January 2), the English striker debuted for Aston Villa. Speaking to the press, Rashford admitted that it was an easy decision to leave Man Utd to move to Villa Park.

The striker born in 1997 said: "I would like to thank Man Utd and Aston Villa for making the loan deal come true. I was lucky to receive interest from a few clubs but choosing Aston Villa was an easy decision.

I have great admiration for the style of play and the ambition of this club. I just want to play football and am excited to start the next chapter of my career. I wish Man Utd all the best for the rest of the season.

Before leaving Man Utd, Rashford was banished to the bench by coach Ruben Amorim. This player has not played since December. The Portuguese coach was not satisfied with the English striker's training attitude.

Even after the match with Fulham, coach Amorim admitted that he would rather have goalkeeper coach Jorge Vital on the bench than Rashford. He said: "I choose players based on their training attitude. If things don't change, my player selection won't change either.

When players do what I ask, I will use them. I would rather have goalkeeper coach Jorge Vital on the bench than have a player who doesn't work hard every day."

Aston Villa was the most active club in the final days of the transfer market. They said goodbye to Jhon Duran to Al Nassr for 65 million pounds. In the opposite direction, Aston Villa successfully borrowed two notable stars, Rashford (Man Utd) and Marco Asensio (PSG). Before that, Aston Villa recruited Dutch winger, Donyell Malen, from Dortmund for 21 million pounds.
