Marcus Rashford’s future is once more the topic of debate with the England worldwide weighing up his choices.
Rashford scored for Aston Villa last night, his penalty not enough to stave off a last-gasp 2-1 defeat at Manchester City, and his representatives have been busy this morning outlining what their shopper is on the lookout for in the summertime.
A membership within the Champions League is a should whereas he isn’t eager on shifting to London.
That narrows the sphere considerably though it not thought Rashford will probably be in need of suitors given his renaissance at Villa, for whom he has now scored 4 occasions and added six assists in 17 video games.
Extra importantly, he’s taking part in with renewed enthusiasm after showing to undergo the motions throughout his ultimate few months at Manchester United.
Rashford’s mortgage deal at Villa Park expires on the finish of the season and Villa have the choice to make the transfer everlasting, though that clearly requires will on the a part of the participant.
With Unai Emery’s males now struggling to complete within the prime 5 and clinch a return to the Champions League, it might be the 27-year-old feels he has higher choices.
So, the place may Rashford be taking part in subsequent season?
Manchester United
Rashford made 426 appearances for United, scoring 138 objectives, however it nonetheless appears unlikely he’ll work his approach again into the plans of Ruben Amorim.
The Portuguese was crucial of the striker’s perspective earlier than exiling him from the first-team image, regardless of United’s struggles.
It could want a radical re-think from membership and participant for any type of reconciliation. Extra possible is a secenario the place Rashford is offered and the cash put in the direction of shopping for an out-and-out quantity 9 within the mould of Viktor Gyokores or Victor Osimhen.
Aston Villa
Villa are nonetheless very a lot within the hunt, though it might come down as to whether or not they qualify for the Champions League.
Rashford has definitely been welcomed into the fold at Villa Park and the membership is undoubtedly on an upward trajectory underneath Emery.
In the event that they do miss out on a top-five end, would, or may, Villa decide to the numerous outlay required to signal the participant completely?

Paris Saint-Germain
PSG have been long-time admirers of Rashford and the participant’s bodily profile – pacey, athletic and technically gifted – definitely suits with Luis Enrique’s philosophy.
The query is do they want him? The signing of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli in January means they have already got 4 sensible attacking gamers, the Georgian star becoming a member of Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola and Want Doue on the Parc des Princes.
A transfer for Rashford might be unlikely except one among that quartet strikes on.
Barcelona
One other membership that has held a prolonged curiosity in Rashford.
The problem with Barca is their monetary state which is unlikely to ease sufficiently to sanction a transfer for a participant who instructions a weekly wage reportedly simply in need of £400k every week.
The wrangling over Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor’s registrations this season has been damaging and it’s unlikely Rashford will wish to face one thing comparable.
AC Milan
The Rossoneri have been excited about Rashford in January however might not be within the operating in the summertime following a dismal season which is extremely unlikely to lead to Champions League soccer.
Milan are ninth in Serie A and seemingly a membership missing route.
It appears a stretch to suppose Rashford would countenance a change to San Siro (except Inter make a shock transfer)!
Liverpool
A non-starter, proper?
Maybe not. Though Mohamed Salah has signed a brand new contract, Liverpool are prone to be available in the market for a brand new ahead with Darwin Nunez’s sad spell on Merseyside set to return to an finish.
Their first selection might be Newcastle’s Alexander Isak however there could be little urge for food on Tyneside to promote their star participant. A less expensive possibility could be Rashford, who is accessible for a payment within the area of £40m.
Whether or not the participant could be prepared to smash his United legacy and make the change to Anfield is one other matter, however from a purely footballing perspective, it is smart.
