Marcus Rashford has done reasonably well for Aston Villa, and he is expected to secure a permanent exit from Manchester United in the summer. According to a report by Sky Sports, the English international is a target for Barcelona. Aston Villa could look to sign him permanently as well. The 27-year-old will make a concrete decision on his future at the end of the season.
The England international has 20 goal contributions this season, and he has not managed to hit top form yet. There is no doubt that the Manchester United misfit is a top-class player, and if he can regain his peak form, he could transform most teams in the attack.
Rashford was quite impressive against Manchester City in Aston Villa’s last Premier League outing and if the West Midlands outfit manage to sign him permanently, he could be an asset for them.
On the other hand, Barcelona need attacking reinforcements as well and have rightly set their sights on the Manchester United misfit. If the Englishman is available for a reasonable amount of money, they would do well to secure his signature.
There have been rumours that the player would prefer to join Barcelona in the summer. The Blaugrana are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.
The academy graduate does not have a future at Manchester United, and leaving them permanently would be ideal for him. It remains to be seen what he decides. He will want to compete at the highest level and fight for trophies, and Barcelona could provide him with that platform.
If the Catalan giants fail to agree on a deal for him, a move to Aston Villa could be appealing for the player. The Villans will be able to offer him regular game time, and they have an ambitious project as well. They were in the Champions League this season, and they will be hoping to compete for trophies in the coming seasons as well. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
