Transfer: Easy decision – Rashford explains why he picked Aston Villa over others

Marcus Rashford on Sunday completed a loan move from Manchester United to Aston Villa.

The England international will remain at Aston Villa until the end of the season.

His loan move includes an option to buy for £40million.

However, prior his move to Villa Park, Rashford was linked with the likes of AC Milan, Napoli, Dortmund and Barcelona.

Writing on Instagram the 27-year-old said his ‘easy decision’ to choose Villa ahead of other clubs was because he admired the way Unai Emery’s side have been playing this season and also their manager’s ambitions.

“I would like to thank Manchester United and Aston Villa for making this loan deal happen,” Rashford said.

“I was lucky to have a few clubs approach me but Aston Villa was an easy decision – I really admire the way that Aston Villa have been playing this season, and the manager’s ambitions. I just want to play football and am excited to get started.

“I wish everyone at Manchester United all the best for the rest of the season.”

Rashford will now hope to make his Aston Villa debut when they face Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup next weekend.
