Marcus Rashford told he will never play for Man Utd again while Ruben Amorim is manager
Marcus Rashford is close to joining Aston Villa in a lucrative loan deal
MANCHESTER UNITED wantaway star Marcus Rashford has been told he will never play at Old Trafford while Ruben Amorim is manager.
Rashford, 27, hasn’t played for United since December 12 with Amorim leaving him out of the squad for every game since apart from one, in which he was an unused substitute.
The forward admitted last month he is “ready for a new challenge” and the Portuguese tactician suggested he is so unhappy with the way the player trains he’d rather pick 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital than him.
And now the England international is on the brink of completing a loan move to Aston Villa.
Villa are reportedly covering the majority of Rashford’s whopping £325,000-a-week wages and are also offering performance-related bonuses.
There will be an option for the Villans to buy the winger included in the deal with Man Utd.
If Rashford moves to Villa Park, then he will get the chance to continue performing at top level in the Premier League and Champions League, something that was impossible under Amorim.
A United insider told SunSport it had been made clear to Rashford he would not play for the Red Devils again while the 40-year-old head coach was at the helm.
A source said: “Marcus always said he would never play for another club in England because he is a United fan.
“He started to think he needed to move earlier this season and wanted to go to a big European club.

“The reality is he’s not had the interest he expected. Villa first showed a tentative interest in him last November.
“Amorim has made it very clear he has no future at Old Trafford.
“Villa have managed to offer him two things — keeping his wage the same and Champions League football.”
