THE BIGGER PICTURE
Rashford hinted he wanted a United exit six weeks ago, but few would have expected the England international to be left out of the team for nearly two months amid an ongoing feud with head coach Ruben Amorim. But finally, after failed moves, matchday banishments and other false dawns, the 27-year-old seems to be heading for the Old Trafford exit.
DID YOU KNOW?
Villa have been on the lookout for a forward after selling striker Jhon Duran to Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr late last month. If picked, Rashford could play alongside England team-mate Ollie Watkins in Unai Emery’s attack.
