Add as preferred source on Google

TBR Football can exclusively confirm that Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has now made a decision on his future.

Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United have all been linked with Rashford ahead of the looming transfer deadline.

Villa asked about signing Rashford earlier this week, as reported by TBR Football, and now the claret-and-blue club is pushing to get a deal done.

Likewise, Tottenham have been linked with Rashford, and fellow London side West Ham have also been eyeing Rashford.

The Manchester United striker has fallen well out of favour under Ruben Amorim and is expected to leave Old Trafford before Monday’s transfer deadline.

Now, Rashford has given the go-ahead to one of the Premier League clubs in pursuit of his services.

Marcus Rashford agrees to join Aston Villa

TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey has confirmed that Marcus Rashford has agreed to join Aston Villa.

The Manchester United forward has given the green light following talks with Villa, with Monchi and Unai Emery’s plans having impressed him.

Rashford has agreed to join, and Villa are covering the majority of his wages, but Man United have agreed to cover some of the deal too.

Man United’s agreement over the structure has seen the move accelerate to the brink of being agreed.

TBR Football sources understand that Villa’s offer for Rashford does include an option to buy him in the summer.

In addition, Tottenham and West Ham have both continued to keep tabs on the situation, TBR Football understands.

What Rashford could bring to Villa

Villa have just allowed Jhon Duran to leave for Al-Nassr, so they’re now a man short in attack and, as such, are looking at a replacement.

Rashford is a player of the highest calibre who has impressed in the Premier League for years and has also done well for England.

Even though Rashford hasn’t been in great form recently, making so many appearances for Man United and England isn’t something that bad players do.

A versatile, quick and direct player with considerable experience at the highest level, Rashford is just the kind of player who could boost Villa’s dressing room and get them to the next level.
