Aston Villa have the option to sign Marcus Rashford for £40m in the summer (Getty) Marcus Rashford is aware that he will not play for Manchester United again while Ruben Amorim is still the manager, according to reports. The 27-year-old was allowed to join Aston Villa on loan in the January transfer window after being frozen out of United’s first-team squad by Amorim. The United manager had made it clear that he was unhappy with Rashford’s effort levels in training before the player was allowed to move to Villa. During his time under Unai Emery at Villa, Rashford has found form with four goals and five assists in 17 appearances. As part of their loan agreement with United, Villa have the option to buy Rashford for a £40 million fee in the summer transfer window.

Rashford will return to United this summer until another deal is agreed but according to The Guardian, the forward knows he has no future at Old Trafford due to a ‘breakdown in relationship’ with Amorim and the club’s hierarchy.

If he’s happy, we are happy. ‘Then, of course, it depends on the circumstances and what happens in the next weeks, and [what we have] in the next year as well.’ United, meanwhile, are already in the market to sign a replacement for Rashford and have intensified their efforts to secure a quick deal for Wolves’ talisman Matheus Cunha. The Brazil international, who has scored 14 goals in the Premier League this season, is available due to a £62.5m release clause which United are willing to activate. United are also looking to sign Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap alongside Cunha. Delap’s availability is also set to be made easier for United as the 22-year-old has a £30m relegation release clause in his deal with Ipswich, who could be demoted from the Premier League this weekend.
