Marcus Rashford received a heartfelt message from an Aston Villa teammate after the Manchester United star’s loan spell was impacted by an injury.

The 27-year-old Manchester United player fell down the pecking order under Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford and Marcus Rashford completed a loan move away.

Aston Villa signed Rashford in the January transfer window and the Premier League club did not have to pay a loan fee for the United loanee back in February.

The large majority of Rashford’s United wages are reportedly being covered by Villa during his loan spell and the club have the option to buy him for a £40m fee.

Rashford has turned his fortunes around at Villa Park and the United forward has climbed back into the England team under Three Lions manager Thomas Tuchel.

The England international has netted four times and picked up six assists in 17 matches for Villa across all competitions under Unai Emery in the 2024-25 campaign.

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery spoke out on Man Utd star Marcus Rashford suffering his hamstring injury

Speaking ahead of Aston Villa’s 1-0 win over Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday, Unai Emery is hopeful that Rashford will return before the season is done.

“For tomorrow, he [Rashford] is not available,” Emery said at his pre-match press conference last Friday, as per The Independent.

“He is working his comeback as soon as possible, but it is still weeks to be available or not with us for the rest of the season.

“Of course, there are four weeks and, hopefully, he will play with us one or two matches.

“Tomorrow, Fulham. Tomorrow, Fulham. We don’t want to finish the season. We don’t want holiday.

“We want to play. And hopefully he can help us. And of course, he’s recovering with us here.

“I want to see him happy. Play, get our objective and then, of course, we will speak about everything.”

Rashford is under contract with United until 2028 and it remains unclear if the Villa player could play again for the Red Devils under United manager Ruben Amorim.
