Aston Villa have reached the last 16 of the Champions League this season and the Premier League is also fighting for a place in Europe. Manchester United are no longer in contention for a European place in the Premier League this season, so Aston Villa are not Manchester United's Premier League rivals.

According to the latest news from journalist Moretto, Aston Villa will continue to work Saturday to bring in Manchester United's 27-year-old England striker Marcus Rashford to strengthen the squad in response to the Champions League + Premier League double-front. Unai Emery is keen on Rashford's technical qualities, with the Spanish coach confident that Rashford will be back in form and back at the top, with the player interested in staying in the Premier League and joining a Champions League side, with Aston Villa continuing to negotiate with United over a loan signage.

The 27-year-old Rashford, who is valued at 55 million euros and has a contract with Manchester United until 2028, can earn up to 400,000 pounds a week, and Manchester United wants Rashford to leave to free up salary space to sign new signings. Marcus Rashford has made 24 appearances for United in all competitions so far this season, 19 of them starts, playing 1,500 minutes in total, contributing seven goals and three assists.
