Marcus Rashford is set to join Aston Villa on loan, with a £40 million buy option. Before the move, England’s new manager, Thomas Tuchel, reportedly met with Rashford to discuss his future in the national team. Tuchel reassured Rashford that, if he performs well at Villa, he’ll be considered for upcoming England squads. Rashford, who has 60 international caps and 17 goals, was notably left out of England’s 2024 European Championship squad due to poor form.
With this loan move, Rashford aims to regain his form under Aston Villa’s manager, Unai Emery, and earn a spot back in the England team for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
