TBR Football can exclusively reveal how Marcus Rashford feels as he is set to join Aston Villa on loan from his boyhood club Manchester United.
Rashford has agreed a move to Aston Villa — as TBR Football confirmed — with the 27-year-old set to play elsewhere apart from United for the first time in his career.
Rashford instantly appreciated Aston Villa’s approach as his time at Old Trafford is set to come to a hold for the time being.
However, as Marcus Rashford is about to take the biggest step in his career so far, he must be feeling a whirlwind of emotions.

Marcus Rashford “excited” about chance to redeem himself at Aston Villa
Sources have told TBR Football’s chief correspondent Graeme Bailey that the reason why Rashford is “excited” about his imminent loan move to Aston Villa is because it is a chance for him to revive his career.
TBR Football have been informed that Unai Emery green-lighted Rashford’s impending arrival and it was the former Paris Saint-Germain boss as well as sporting director Monchi who sold him on the switch and Villa’s project as a whole.
It is telling how much the Villans were interested in signing the Englishman on loan, considering Rashford was unwilling to take a wage cut and they will now cover two-thirds of his wages during his spell. The Wythenshawe-born forward is set to undergo his medical at Villa Park on Sunday.
Terms between Aston Villa and Manchester United were agreed late on Saturday as there is a £40 million option-to-buy in the FA Cup winner’s contract as well. Rashford, described as “incredible” by Kyle Walker is taking a step-up in his career as Unai Emery’s side are in the last-16 of the Champions League and fighting for top four in the Premier League.

Marcos Asensio set to join Marcus Rashford at Aston Villa
Marcos Asensio is ready to leave PSG and after holding talks with Monchi, he is also set to join the Manchester United superstar to Birmingham on an initial loan deal.
Aston Villa have agreed a loan move with Asensio, who Aston Villa were interested in 2023 as well.
The prospective deal was on hold as PSG’s loan spots were full to the brim — with Cher Ndour’s potential exit freeing up a slot for the Spaniard’s temporary exit.
Aston Villa are hoping to wrap up the deals for both Asensio and Rashford by Sunday. Both players will have a chance to redeem themselves, having been on the periphery of things at their respective clubs.
