Unai Emery’s Villa have established a type of signing and Rashford perfectly fits the mould – what role will he play for the Villans?

Aston Villa have agreed a loan deal until the end of the season with Manchester United for Marcus Rashford. Villa will cover a minimum of three-quarters of the England forward’s wages for the duration of his stay and up to 90 per cent depending on performance-based bonuses.

Marcus Rashford's tenure at Manchester United appears to have ended definitively, as reports suggest he is 'extremely unlikely' to play for the Red Devils again, even if head coach Ruben Amorim were to depart.
