Man United star makes Champions League demand as Ruben Amorim snub continues

Manchester United are bracing for a defining summer regarding Marcus Rashford’s future.

According to The Telegraph, the 27-year-old wants a summer move that guarantees him Champions League football next season and beyond.

Rashford is currently on loan at Aston Villa. He has excelled under Unai Emery’s leadership, racking up four goals and six assists in 17 games.

He has two goals and three assists in 10 Premier League appearances.

Rashford has impressed at Villa, so much so that the Birmingham outfit are considering keeping him beyond his current loan spell.

The England international is enjoying a resurgence, but not enough to repair his reputation at his parent club.

His relationship with Ruben Amorim seems dead in the water. As far as United are concerned, he may have played his last game for the club.

That said, there’s a world where he returns to United this summer. But that could depend on the club winning the Europa League and qualifying for the Champions League.

Rashford has shown glimpses of his old self at Villa.

He reminded many of his quality with a spirited display in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain, even though Villa were still eliminated.

He built on that performance against Manchester City in the Premier League, where he struck the post and converted a penalty in a narrow 2-1 defeat.

Reports claim Villa want to keep him, but there hasn’t been any formal discussions between both parties.

It appears Villa are waiting until the end of the season to make their move, but they have the option to trigger a £40 million clause to sign him permanently.

Rashford’s camp would also prefer to wait until the end of the season. They want to make sure his next move aligns with his ambitions of playing regularly in the Champions League.

There have been talks that Rashford could be involved in a swap deal involving Ollie Watkins or Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze. However, Rashford’s camp have dismissed those rumours.

While a move to Villa is on the cards, Rashford is still hoping to join Barcelona this summer, although that could merely be an agent-driven speculation.
