Marcus Rashford says Aston Villa’s “constant ambition” attracted him to the club and he hopes to rediscover his form after he signed for the club on loan from Manchester United until the end of the season.

The England striker is one of United's highest earners but has been absent during a crucial period and is now set to leave on loan. Why?

Marcus Rashford reportedly turned down Manchester United's insistence on a contract pay cut ahead of his loan move to Aston Villa in the final days of the winter transfer window, as per The Athletic.

In the Champions League, it was a different story, with Aston Villa comfortably qualifying for the Round of 16 after victories over Young Boys, Bayern, Bologna, Leipzig and Celtic

Aston Villa are close to agreeing a deal to sign Marcus Rashford on loan from Manchester United. The proposed move has not yet been finalised as some details still need to be ironed out between all parties.
