Aston Villa is approaching an agreement to secure Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford on loan before the transfer date on Monday.
according to BBC SportDiscussions between clubs have advanced significantly, although some details still need to get rid of them before confirming the deal.
It is believed that the opportunity to play under the manager of Villa Unai Emery is a major worker in attracting the 27 -year -old striker.
Rashford has not appeared in favor of United since the main coach Robin Amorim brought him down in Manchester Derby on December 12.
Amorim's recent comments highlighted his dissatisfaction with Rashford's commitment.
Even the Portuguese coach suggested last week that he would prefer to give a 63 -year -old goalkeeper seat instead of England, indicating the lack of effort.
Despite these criticisms, Amorim admitted the talent of Rashford during a press conference on Wednesday, saying: “Imagine a talent like Rashford, our team must be much better with him – but it has to change. If change, we welcome more (to include him) – and we need it But at this moment we have to set some criteria.
