A former Manchester United player reckons Aston Villa are taking a “big gamble” on Marcus Rashford as the 27-year-old is “known for being lazy”. Rashford secured a loan move to Aston Villa before the January transfer window closed and they have an option to buy him in the summer for around £40m.

Rashford is now "extremely unlikely" to ever play a competitive game for United again and has a "near irreparable" relationship with his boyhood club, according to The Guardian. This stance is said to be independent of Amorim, as the upper hierarchy of United sanctioned the move to put Rashford up for sale.
