Marcus Rashford playing for Aston villa is going to be good for both Aston villa and Marcus Rashford as I think his talents is being wasted at Manchester United. Manchester United has been known for wasting young players talents as all the youth talents at the clubs is always facing issues withe coaches regardless of which one they sign therefore the problem has to be bigger than just the coaches and players having misunderstanding. Aston villa are in a better position than Manchester United. Aston villa will be playing in the champions league and also still in other competitions in the premier league therefore it's a good opportunity for Rashford to perform.

It's a good move for Marcus rashford to leave Manchester united in this winter window because he has struggled to develop his quality with Manchester united. So a new team certainly has new hopes and that's what Rashford will do with Aston villa this season. I'm sure he will get full trust from Unai emery.

In addition, the agreement has been made and is only waiting for the official announcement from Manchester United regarding Rashford's departure to Aston villa. With the loan option, of course, It is a good step for Aston Villa where they get additional strength to improve their performance in the second half of this season. If you look at Rashford performance statistics, Of course he has experienced a decline in his performance in the last two seasons with manchester united. Well, if he can rebuild his good performance, Of course we are very curious about his debut with Aston Villa.

It’s public knowledge that there is bad blood between Marcus Rashford and Ruben Amorim, which have made Amorim to bench Rashford in multiple matches, and even come out to say he will rather play an old man than play Rashford. I will advise Rashford to join Aston Villa on loan before the transfer windows close. It’s sad that a once promising talent and future prospect for England national team cannot start for this club side.

Ruben Amorim needed to make a very big statement to Manchester United players especially the senior members of the team in other to stamp his authority as the decision maker and sadly for Marcus Rashford, he was used to pass that message. Ruben Amorim since he started to leave the England international on his match squad have granted few interviews where he explained the reason behind his decision not to play him. I think the England international doesn't meet his demands for a striker or a winger so it's better for Rashford to leave the club now.
A loan move to Aston Villa I don't think will not be a bad one for Rashford because at Villa, he'll get the opportunity of getting back to his best and possibly making a permanent move to another big European club when the next transfer window opens.

[imamusma]

Marcus Rashford was wanted by several clubs in the previous transfer market, one of which was PSG who once wanted his services. In the Amorim era, it seems that Rashford is not included in the list of players included in his squad, the attitude problem is a special concern. It's not just Rashford who has a problem with his attitude, Alejandro Garnacho seems to be the same. Antony has been loaned, now Marcus Rashford is the same. Reportedly Aston Villa has agreed personal terms with Rashford, now it's just a matter of agreement between the two clubs. Rashford is actually a good player, unfortunately in Amorim's hands he doesn't seem to fit into his system. So this loan option will be good for all parties, not only for Aston Villa who need the depth of their squad, but also for Marcus Rashford who might get more playing minutes. Likewise with Amorim, because if a team has problems in the dressing room, it will affect the team as a whole. So if the loan option is agreed by all parties, that's much better. I think Rashford can prove his capacity with Aston Villa, and Amorim can focus more if there are no problems between the players in his team.

Rashford future speculation continues in uncertainty, ahead of the winter transfer window closing, Aston Villa could be an alternative solution to leave Manchester United. Ruben Amorim seems to still maintain his principles, he will continue to freeze Rashford if the player does not show the work ethic he wants. It seems that the Manchester United dressing room has not changed since last season, in the Ten Hag era we also witnessed the manager clashing with some of his players. Meanwhile, Garnacho seems to be changing, and there is a possibility that he will be retained by Ruben Amorim.

The transfer market must be utilized well by Manchester City because now they are more focused on improving the quality of the team to be better after experiencing a previous setback in the Premier League.

They have already made three signings in this January transfer window, they were unable to play yesterday, but now that they have progressed to the Playoffs, they will be registered and they'll be available in the next round. City have not completely shut the door on another potential signing this month, prolly a right back, since Kyle Walker has left the club for AC Milan this month, Matheus Nunes has been playing at right back, and against a top team with good wingers, that might be a weak link.

Manchester City don't need to sign much players since they have enough quality stars. The only challenge they have is injuries. When these player recover the squad might come back to it's past shape. Buying more players might conflict with the Financial Fair and also make the player difficult to manage. When coaches have too many players in the club selection problems will always arise and players who are not always selected might cause disaffection in the dressing room.

My conclusion is that the signing of  Omar Marmoush, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis is enough for the Cityzens. By the time other key players return from injuries, there will be good backup.

Manchester City have a good squad but the injury problems just seem to not be ending soon so making these signings is really crucial for the team’s development and improvement. We have seen how much decline the team has struggled with recently, they have to strengthen mostly their defense and in midfield as well as attack which they have attended to already and by the time the injured ones return they will have a big squad to compete at all levels.

Villa getting Rashford could hurt them more then it helps them to be fair. Amorim must be saying something that he really means, this dude is clear about how Rashford is not even trying, and there must be something wrong with him, otherwise why would he say that openly about him?

Remember, Amorim talking about Rashford being bad is lowering his value, if the manager talks badly about a player, then you can't sell that player for a lot of money. So they must really want to get rid of him badly, and nobody would do that if they don't really mean it.

If Aston Villa really gets him, Unai Emery has a huge job to handle, otherwise it is going to be a trouble, he has to figure out how he could turn Rashford back to his old self and that is not an easy task.

[shogun47]

At just 27 years of age is kind of ill perceived in my opinion because if a player has world class talent, but can't enfold that talent into consistent quality by the age of 27, then what's more to expect from that player? Think about the top stars in the world and if they all needed to turn 27 or even 28 to first show signs of consistently high quality play, would they have ever become the top stars in the world? No way! Rashford's career is approaching the end in highest class football. If he doesn't have some sort of breakthrough, another brilliant season with 20+ goals or maybe 15 goals and 10 assists or something, then it is probably time for him to go to Saudi Arabia in two years from now. For a player with his talent, 27 years of age is old when you consider what he has achieved so far.

Imagine Bellingham would take until the age of 27 before he finally plays great football each game.

At that age, a professional player usually has skills and maturity in their game. For a player's success, it all depends on how they reach peak performance.
In Rashford's case, he doesn't get a place at United. If he doesn't leave United and join another team, the situation will get worse by not getting playing minutes. United and Rashford must take steps to progress together. The price is lowered as well as Rashford who may have to be willing to lower his salary at the new club.
Barcelona might be interested if the price agreement is not too high. But if the asking price disrupts Barcelona's finances, they will not get a player like that.

Yes but you are ignoring some important facts here and you talk as if he never got a chance. There is a good reason he now doesn't get a chance. It is because the only consistency in his career was repeated failures. That is what the coaches could count on, Rashford will fail again it is only a matter of time. Manchester United is not a club on the highest level and competition is pretty weak and yet Rashford can't make it reliably into the starting eleven.

It's true that his situation won't improve there because he isn't good enough, but when he goes to a different club, this doesn't mean he instantly can level up his game. Going to Barcelona would be ridiculous when your point is that he doesn't get enough play time at Manchester United. Do you really think he will win the competition against Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Lewandowski, Torres? I never expect him to outcompete any of these players. And Barcelona is planning on signing more forwards that are already of higher quality than Rashford. He would be sitting on the bench 90% of the time.

He can't make it at Manchester United, but then you mention Barcelona as a possible destination.

We have seen how much decline the team has struggled with recently, they have to strengthen mostly their defense and in midfield as well as attack which they have attended to already and by the time the injured ones return they will have a big squad to compete at all levels.

There has not been a balance between the main players and the second-string players, so when their main players cannot be played it will create a gap that will eventually make them decline. That's at least what I can see from the decline experienced by Manchester City lately. Thus, they must bring in new players who can fill the void and can make a big contribution to Manchester City's game. Pep Guardiola must be able to be smart to see which players he will bring in, because if he appoints the wrong player it will also be detrimental in the future. Especially now that they are in a crucial period.

If Aston Villa really gets him, Unai Emery has a huge job to handle, otherwise it is going to be a trouble, he has to figure out how he could turn Rashford back to his old self and that is not an easy task.

I wonder if this is another case of the sporting director doesn't communicate enough with the manager so they sign a player that the manager doesn't want. I listened to a podcast about Everton and Dyche and one point that was discussed was how a manager is used as a front for the people who work behind the scenes to take the blame if everything goes wrong, and this can be another case for that if Emery fails to use him. That being said, I remember Lingard also went out on loan successfully a few years ago so who knows what will happen to Rashford. CMIIW.

I was surprised that J.Duran chose the Arabian league at a young age. I was very surprised that he went to Al Nassr club when he was only 21 years old and should have shown himself in the Premier League.
He is a fast and quick football player. He had good matches at Aston Villa in the Premier League. Al Nassr definitely bought a very good football player. I accept that football players ultimately play for money, but transfers to the Arabian League at such a young age are surprising to me.

If i were Duran, i would also accept Al Nassr's offer. He received 5 times more than this salary at Villa, also no tax for his salary. He received 300k a week!!!! Man this is amazing salary received by him. He can make millions easily from playing for Al Nassr, he also got a luxury life provided by his club.

At the end of the day, it's all about the money bro, their are some kind of money you will be offered, you wouldn't even think twice before accepting it because he has actually struck gold by this contract he just signed.
I know that many people would be saying that he is too young to be going to Saudi Arabia, that he will be wasting his prime age in the Saudi Arabia league, but no, I really don't see it that way, the Saudi Arabia league is not that too bad, and besides the quality of players that has gone their recently including cristiano Ronaldo wouldn't make it a big deal, because he is actually not the first, nor is he going to be the last player that will be going to the Saudi Arabia league for money.
Then lastly, he is actually going to be a very good signing for Al Nasser once he adapt to his the surroundings , that's what am quite confident on.

Bro, anyone wanted to be a pro footballer for the high salary. That's what Duran not receiving from Villa. 50k week before taxed is too small.

His salary a week in Al Nassr is pretty much the same of his 7 - 8weeks salary on Villa after tax.

He priorizes his familiy instead of his ego despite so many blamed he received. He gave good money for Villa, he received good salary from al Nassr, and in the end, it's a win win situation for all of parties.

Fabrizio Romano says that Tottenham has signed Danso on a permanent deal. However it seems different on Transfermarkt like they have actually loaned him for 6 months.    Maybe there might be a buy clause as well, I don't know about it.

Anyways, finally Tottenham got clever enough to sign a defender. They haven't been able to defend at all so far. Their defense is in horrible shape. This is the main reason why they are this terrible this season.

Otherwise they have scored 46 goals in the league. They are the 3rd most scorer team in the standings but we still see them at the 16th position, it is really absurd. 

[Salahmu]

Man this is amazing salary received by him. He can make millions easily from playing for Al Nassr, he also got a luxury life provided by his club.

A tax will definitely come in because Duran cannot receive 300k in Saudi Arabia within paying any tax, so if perhaps other players in the Saudi Arabia is paying tax he will also do that unless his contract on the league states that he will not pay tax, I have not seen such player with the contract of tax free, actually the tweet the guy posted was only asking if their would be a tax or not, or was implying that it will be better paying tax when his weekly is 300k than receiving just 50k with taxes, however this contract is good for Duran because this amount is better plus other more than Aston Villa.

Jhon Duran at Aston Villa showed great signs of a world class striker but instead of breaking into the club's starting line up, he was still used as understudy to Ollie Watkins. Now he's moved to Saudi club where he'll getting regular football as well as huge paychecks. It's a big win for him if you ask me and I think he's going to have a successful spell at Al Nassr.

Manchester United has been known for wasting young players talents as all the youth talents at the clubs is always facing issues withe coaches regardless of which one they sign therefore the problem has to be bigger than just the coaches and players having misunderstanding. Aston villa are in a better position than Manchester United. Aston villa will be playing in the champions league and also still in other competitions in the premier league therefore it's a good opportunity for Rashford to perform.

I think it's a good move for both sides, Amorim will get rid of a player they don't need and Rashford will get some game practice in a new team. O goes to Aston Villa on loan with an option to buy and Aston Villa will cover 70% of Rashford's wages. Since Aston Villa have sold Duran to Al Nasr, they are now looking at strengthening their attack, they are also considering Joao Felix and PSG attacking midfielder Marco Asensio.

[bitLeap]

Aston Villa is also interested in a loan deal for Rashford...

His future is still not decided. I'm curious about whether this makes him nervous. Because it is said that his relationship with Amorim is completely broken now. He must be very indisciplined these days to come to this point.    I don't understand Rashford in the first place. You have a talent actually but you insist on not working hard. Why wouldn't you want to improve your career? I wonder where he will end up. There are only a few days left for the end of the transfer window. He had better join Aston Villa on loan.

It was surprising to hear Rashford take Aston Villa offer meaning that he indirectly wants to be Man United enemy. Unay saw an opportunity that could be exploited from Rashford. It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to fight for his place then it's better to leave and his departure will reduce Amorim burden.

[Helena Yu]

I see a lot hype in social medias where people predict Milan will become very strong after the transfer window because they've just sign Walker and Gimenez, potentially Joao Felix. Gimenez was a beast in Eredivisie, but we don't know how his performance in Serie A, because his performance in his national team wasn't really impressive.

I think even Milan has a very good attacking line, it still doesn't enough to destroy Inter's defense.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to fight for his place then it's better to leave and his departure will reduce Amorim burden.

Players moving to other clubs in the same league is not a new thing that happens in a competition, this is not too surprising in my opinion, but if he moves to Man City, it will clearly be very sensational news in the EPL. Aston Villa have enough resources to recruit new players permanently, they are ready to spend the 77 million dollars they received from the transfer of Jhon Duran.
They also plan to form a new trio in the front line consisting of Marco Asencio, Marcus Rashford and Joao Felix.

[Pandu Geddon]

Barcelona was previously reported to have an interest in Rashford. They are constrained by the player's fairly high salary problem. If Barcelona did not have financial problems, maybe they would really buy him. Regarding competition, it all depends on the player whether he can show his potential or not.
But now everything is final and Rashford will join Aston Villa on loan even though the salary is not paid in full by Aston Villa, at least it will reduce the burden of United's player salary when Rashford is indeed not included in Amorim's plans.
