Marcus Rashford nears move from Man United to Aston Villa - sources

Aston Villa are close to agreeing on a loan deal for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, sources told ESPN.

ESPN reported on Friday that Unai Emery's team had expressed an interest in signing the England international, and it now looks likely that Rashford could join them.

Rashford is set to move to Villa Park until the end of the season. Villa have agreed to cover a substantial part of Rashford's wage, and other performance-related bonuses have been built into the deal.
