Marcus Rashford is swapping red for claret and blue! The England star has left Manchester United on a six-month loan to Aston Villa, signaling a fresh start after a rocky season.
Rashford, 26, confirmed the move Sunday with a heartfelt social media post: \"Aston Villa’s ambition and style of play hooked me. Let’s make magic happen!\" The deal ends weeks of speculation after United manager Ruben Amorim publicly questioned his commitment, even joking he’d prefer a \"goalkeeper coach on the bench\" over an unmotivated player.
Since debuting in 2016, Rashford’s racked up 138 goals for United and helped snag trophies like the Europa League . But this season, he’s been MIA since mid-December. Now, Villa fans hope he’ll reignite his World Cup-level form (17 goals for England!
) alongside new signings like Dutch striker Donyell Malen.
Will this gamble pay off? Let’s just say the Prem’s January transfer window just got way spicier.
