Aston Villa has completed the loan signing of Marcus Rashford from Manchester United for the remainder of the 2025 season. The forward, who has struggled for consistent form at Old Trafford, will look to reignite his career at Villa Park, with the club hoping his arrival will bolster their attacking options for the second half of the season.
Rashford, 27, had fallen out of favor at Manchester United, with reports suggesting a strained relationship with manager Ruben Amorim. The loan move to Villa gives Rashford the opportunity to secure regular playing time and regain his top form under Villa’s manager, Unai Emery.
The deal includes an option for Villa to make the transfer permanent in the summer for a fee of £40 million, depending on the player’s performance during his loan spell. Aston Villa has also agreed to cover a significant portion of Rashford’s weekly wage, which is reported to be around £325,000.
Rashford expressed his excitement about the move, stating that he is looking forward to helping Villa achieve their goals for the season. Fans are eager to see the England international in action, with his debut potentially coming in the upcoming FA Cup match.
As the transfer window closes, this move signifies Villa’s ambition to secure a place in European competition next season, with Rashford now a key figure in their push for a top-four finish.
