Marcus Rashford 'sends message' to Ruben Amorim as source reveals 'true feelings' about staying at Aston Villa

Marcus Rashford's ‘true feelings’ towards Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim have been revealed according to a source.

Rashford, 27, is currently on loan at Aston Villa from Manchester United, having fallen out of favour with Red Devils head coach Amorim, 40.

Back in December, Rashford was omitted from United’s match day squad ahead of the Manchester derby against Manchester City.

In the days that followed, he stated that he was “ready for a new challenge” during an interview with journalist Henry Winter.

Despite being linked with the likes of AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund during the winter transfer window, he eventually penned a loan deal at Aston Villa until the end of the season and has since made a positive contribution to Unai Emery’s side with three goals and six assists in 15 appearances.

However, Rashford’s future remains uncertain - but the England international has “never been happier”, according to the Manchester Evening News.

A source reportedly explained how Rashford appreciates Emery’s coaching style and man-management.

Still, the cause of Amorim and Rashford’s frosty relationship is unclear but the 27-year-old could move on to a bigger club this summer.

The MEN reports that although no ‘definitive’ decision has been made regarding Rashford's future and he could be of interest to bigger clubs with Barcelona tentatively showing interest over the winter.

After Aston Villa's 3-2 win (5-4 aggregate defeat) in the Champions League against PSG on Tuesday, Emery was quick to praise Rashford after the 27-year-old registered an assist and put in an overall positive performance.

"He’s feeling comfortable and better, today he played a fantastic match," said Emery. "The most important thing is that if he’s happy, we are happy. It [signing him in the summer] is difficult to plan now.

“Then, of course, it depends on the circumstances and what happens in the next weeks, and [what we have] in the next year as well.”

Rashford admitted that he was "enjoying his football" after he scored a brace in the FA Cup quarter-final clash against Preston on March 30.

“I think I can get fitter, I missed a lot of football before joining up with them, my body feels good, injury free and just enjoying my football for now,” Rashford told BBC Sport.

“It’s a great feeling, I feel like I’ve been slowly getting better and playing better football since I’ve been here.”
