Manchester United Players Show Support for Marcus Rashford After Emotional Message to Aston Villa
Manchester United players, both current and former, have expressed their support for Marcus Rashford after he penned an emotional message to Aston Villa following the end of his loan spell with the club. The England forward spent the second half of the season on loan at Villa Park, where he had a positive impact, scoring four goals and providing six assists in 17 appearances.
According to a report by The Manchester Evening News, Rashford’s loan spell at Aston Villa may be coming to an end, with the club having the option to make the deal permanent in the summer for £40million. However, there is some doubt over whether or not that will happen, with the player taking his time before making a decision over his future. As reported by The Manchester Evening News, he is expected to leave United before the start of next season, with Ruben Amorim not expected to reintegrate him into the squad for pre-season.
Rashford took to Instagram to share pictures from his time at Aston Villa, along with an emotional message. “Just a message of thanks to everyone here at Villa for what has – injury aside – been an incredible few months for me,” he wrote. “It is a really special club and I appreciated the way Villa fans embraced me with open arms from 1st minute on the pitch. Manager, team, and coaching staff have all been brilliant. I know it’s a huge disappointment not to have made the Champions League place – which everyone worked so hard all season for – but I know this club and team will come back stronger.” The post was well-received by the Aston Villa community, with forward Morgan Rogers replying in the comments section with a message that read: “My brother.”
Current and former Manchester United players also showed their support for Rashford, with Antony, Christian Eriksen, Joshua Zirkzee, Andre Onana, Ethan Wheatley, Joe Hugill, and Godwill Kukonki all liking the post. Former United teammates Jesse Lingard, Donny van de Beek, and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were also among those to ‘like’ the message. The Manchester Evening News understands that Rashford will return to Carrington for the first day of pre-season with United, but the next few weeks could determine where his future beyond that lies.
