Marcus Rashford is 'already eyeing a transfer to ANOTHER club' just weeks after joining Aston Villa from Manchester United.
Rashford signed for Villa during the January transfer window on loan until the end of the season.
The deal includes an option for Villa to buy him on a permanent transfer for £40 million.

But it appears Rashford has set his sights on another move this summer.
According to The Sun, Rashford has not given up hope on his 'dream' transfer to Barcelona, who were linked with him before his switch to Villa.
However, the La Liga giants failed to push for a deal, with the club's sporting director Deco saying they were not 'desperate' to sign him.

"It’s true there was talk of Rashford - but we weren’t desperately looking for a player either," he revealed.
Despite Barca's stance, the Man United loanee still hopes to go to the Camp Nou this summer.
A source said: "Marcus is confident that if he rediscovers his form at Villa Park and starts bagging goals, Barcelona will revive their interest, especially as a transfer price has been established.
"It’s a huge incentive for him, which is good news for Villa.

"Now he just needs to get playing and start scoring."
Rashford made his Villa debut in his new side's FA Cup triumph over Tottenham last weekend and made a 45-minute appearance against Ipswich Town on Saturday, with fans thinking he has 'proved Ruben Amorim wrong'.
Just like against Spurs, the star forward looked electric as he created his team's equaliser after his free-kick crash off the woodwork before Ollie Watkins tapped home from close range.

Speaking after the 1-1 draw with Ipswich, Unai Emery praised the 27-year-old and claimed 'he is getting better'.
Emery said: "He [Rashford] is getting better. He was feeling comfortable as well. Today he played 45 minutes and he really helped us. They [Rashford and Marco Asensio] will get more opportunities in the future."
