Marcus Rashford has 'transfer agreement' with Man Utd that could scupper Aston Villa's bid to sign him

Marcus Rashford reportedly has a transfer agreement with Manchester United ahead of the summer window.

After falling out of favour under Ruben Amorim, Rashford left Old Trafford for Aston Villa on loan during the January transfer window.

Since moving to Villa Park to work under Unai Emery, the 27-year-old has showed glimpses of his old self.

So far, Rashford has scored two goals and assisted four in 10 matches across all competitions.

Due to his good form, it has been rumoured that Villa could look to make Rashford's loan deal into a permanent transfer come the summer window.

As reported by the Daily Mail, Rashford can join Villa for £40 million in the summer but it has been suggested that he could also join other clubs for a similar fee.

This could ruin Villa's plans as they might have to engage in a bidding war with other interested parties.

The report stated: "A striker is one of United’s priorities in the transfer market this summer, and they will try to fund a deal by offloading Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.

"Rashford has a £40m option in his loan deal at Aston Villa, and it’s understood he could join other clubs for a similar fee."

After Rashford scored twice against Preston North End in the FA Cup over the weekend, Villa boss Emery was asked whether a decision has been made regarding the forward's future at the club.

He replied: "Not yet. The most important thing is the challenge now and this afternoon, recovering and then preparing for the match against Brighton tomorrow.

"Still there are a lot of matches to play. If we are in the Champions League, if we are in the Europa League, if we are in the European Conference League or not in Europe or winning a trophy, it is completely different."

Emery added: "A decision about each individual players… it is to get the best of them and the best of us. We don’t want to waste time thinking about it."

Villa are back in Premier League action on Wednesday night when they take on Brighton and Hove Albion at the AMEX.
