One of the first things Ruben Amorim did when he walked through the Old Trafford doors it seemed wass to give striker Marcus Rashford the axe. At first the move was heralded as the manager 'laying down his marker'. But as time went on , the pundits amnd ex-Man United players became more outspoken, critcising the move.
The academy product since moving to the Midlands has three goals and four assists to his name, which would suggest the Withington-born forward is something back close to his best. Now, the ability the 27-year-old has is undeniable, but what fans and pundits a like takwe exception with is the lack of consistency.
Even when he was at Old Trafford, he did produce glimpses of being a world-class player, but they were just that, glimpses. Marcus Rashford was linked with Barcelona and other teams abroad, but the harsh reality is that it's only a team in the Premier League that can afford him. In the case of Villa, they have only got him on a loan, where it appears to be seen if they make the deal a permanent one.
The former Fletcher Moss player, won't come cheap, it's understood The Villains have been quoted £40 million, then there is the over £300,000 wages to consider too. Is Rashford going to be consistent enough to his those heights? Man United fans don't get sucked into it, Marcus Rashford won't necessarily do well if he came back to them, whilst doing an interview with Jeff Winter, he professed that he wanted a new challenge away from Man United and seek pastures new.
This move is a blessing for both parties, remember, exes are exes for a reason.
