Manchester United striker, Marcus Rashford

Manchester United striker, Marcus Rashford is close to finalizing a loan move to Aston Villa, with the club agreeing to pay more than 70% of his wages. 

The loan arrangement comes with a buy option set at £40 million, and there is a possibility of a three-and-a-half-year contract afterwards.

Rashford, who has not featured for Manchester United since December 12, is expected to have his medical examination today.

This transfer follows Villa's sale of Jhon Duran to Al Nassr for £64 million, which has created additional room in their squad and financial flexibility.
