Overview

  • Marcus Rashford remains sidelined with a hamstring injury and is ineligible to play Aston Villa's final match due to Premier League loan rules.
  • Aston Villa has yet to activate their £40 million purchase option for Rashford, whose loan expires on June 30.
  • Rashford's £325,000-a-week wages and contract running until 2028 create significant hurdles for a permanent transfer.
  • Manchester United has no plans to reintegrate Rashford into their squad next season under manager Ruben Amorim.
  • United's valuation of Rashford has dropped from £100 million last summer to a potential £40 million sale, reflecting a £60 million loss.
