Marcus Rashford set to leave Manchester United before transfer deadline as he agrees personal terms for next move: Reports

Manchester United's Marcus Rashford has agreed personal terms with Aston Villa ahead of a move in the winter transfer window, according to acclaimed journalist Fabrizio Romano. The Red Devils are now locked in talks with the Villans regarding a loan deal with a buy option.

Rashford's future has been making the headlines since dropping out of favour under Ruben Amorim. The Englishman, interestingly, scored the first goal of the Amorim era. He netted in the 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town that marked the Portuguese's first game in charge of Manchester United.

The 27-year-old followed that up with a brace against Everton in a 4-0 win. However, the player's fortunes have been on a downward dive ever since. He was kept out of the squad for the Manchester Derby in December and hasn't featured in the last 12 games for the Red Devils.

Manchester United are apparently keen to offload Rashford in January. Juventus and Barcelona expressed interest in securing his services earlier this month. Unfortunately, a move has failed to materialize so far, with the transfer window drawing to a close.

However, Aston Villa have now offered Rashford a chance to redeem his career. Unai Emery reportedly spoke to the player and convinced him about the move. The Englishman is apparently enticed by the project and the chance to play Champions League football.
