Manchester United<\/a> loanee Marcus Rashford<\/a> reportedly prefers to stay at Aston Villa<\/a> over moving to a club abroad this summer.<\/p>\n The 27-year-old was largely overlooked at Old Trafford<\/a> under Reds boss Ruben Amorim<\/a>, who left him out of nearly all matchday squads following his last appearance on December 12, until he was loaned out to Aston Villa in February<\/a>. Since moving to Birmingham, Rashford has become a key player for Villa under Unai Emery – contributing four goals and six assists. His campaign was cut short, however, due to a muscle injury.<\/p>\n The United academy graduate’s improved form played a crucial role in Villa’s journey to the Champions League<\/a> quarter-finals, where they were ultimately beaten by PSG over two legs. Rashford’s standout performances earned him a place in the most recent England squad selected by Three Lions boss Thomas Tuchel.<\/p>\n The Manchester Evening News understands that Rashford will wait until the summer to decide on his future<\/a>. Villa have an option to purchase him for \u00a340million.<\/p>\n Our colleagues at The Express<\/a> claim that his preference is to remain at Villa Park and that any chance of a return to Old Trafford is unlikely.<\/p>\n Amorim has previously stated that Rashford was unable to adapt to the way he wanted to play and train at M16.<\/p>\n \u201cI couldn\u2019t put Marcus to see the way you\u2019re supposed to play football and to train the way I see it,\u201d he said earlier this season<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd sometimes you have one player that is really good with one coach, and the same player with another coach is different.<\/p>\n \u201cI just wish the best to Rashford and to Unai Emery, and they can connect because he\u2019s a very good player.\u201d<\/p>\n Here at The Manchester Evening News, we are dedicated to bringing you the best Manchester United<\/a> coverage and analysis.<\/p>\n Make sure you don’t miss out on the latest United news by joining our free WhatsApp group.
