134-goals Man United Superstar forward ready to make Surprise January switch to Aston Villa -Report

Marcus Rashford has reportedly asked to leave Man United during the January transfer window and among the three clubs interested in the winger is the Red Devils’ Premier League rivals Aston Villa

Being a Manchester United academy graduate carries some pressure, and the Englishman has spent his whole career with the Manchester club.

For the most part, Rashford has lived up to promise, although the 26-year-old has had terrible seasons the past two.

The Englishman has only contributed one goal and one assist in the first eight Premier League games this season, compared to just eight goals and six assists in 43 appearances last season.

For a player who has scored 134 goals in his Man United career, this is much below average, and perhaps the pressure is beginning to get to the United academy product.

According to El Nacional, Rashford has now asked to leave the Premier League giants and has told his agent to find him a new club as soon as possible, which could see the winger leave Old Trafford in January.

The report states that three clubs have shown interest in the 26-year-old but it remains to be seen if United allow him to depart midseason.

Aston Villa open to bringing Marcus Rashford to Villa Park in January
Aston Villa, Napoli and Marseille are said to be the clubs ready to sign Rashford in January with the Italian club viewed as the leaders in the race due to Antonio Conte’s interest in the English winger.

This comes after TeamTalk reported the interest of both Bayern Munich and Marseille, which followed recent interest from Paris Saint-Germain.

Despite his poor run of form, the 26-year-old is still a major part of the current United squad and it is hard to see the Manchester club allowing the player to leave before next summer’s transfer window.

If he does, this would be a sensational story for the January window, especially if the Man United star ends up at Aston Villa
