"It’s an ambitious time for this club and a great opportunity for me to join the team and help them keep pushing forward. I’m excited, can’t wait for the first training session and obviously the first game," he explained.

"(Unai Emery is) a top manager and what he’s done at the club since he’s come to Villa is unbelievable.

"It’s the constant ambition that’s attractive, and it’s why you want to join such a club. You want to keep improving year on year, and that’s what the team has been doing and are doing this year."

Rashford has scored seven goals in 24 games for Man United this season.
