Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has joined Aston Villa on loan, both Premier League clubs announced, bringing to an end a difficult few weeks for the England striker after he was frozen out at Old Trafford.
Rashford, who has been capped 60 times by England, will join Villa until the end of the 2024-25 season.
“I was lucky to have a few clubs approach me but Aston Villa was an easy decision. I really admire the way that Aston Villa have been playing this season, and the manager’s ambitions. I just want to play football and am excited to get started,” Rashford posted on social media late on Sunday.
“I would like to thank Manchester United and Aston Villa for making this loan deal happen … I wish everyone at Manchester United all the best for the rest of the season,” he added.
Rashford has scored 138 goals in 426 appearances for Manchester United aft
