Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford has joined Aston Villa on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season.

The England international fell out-of-favour under manager Unai Emery earlier this term which paved the way for his exit.

Villa have agreed to cover 70 percent of the forward's wages and they have the option to sign him permanently for £40 million.

Rashford may have a point to prove after being dropped by Amorim.

The United boss complained about Rashford's intensity in training and the forward will be determined to prove his credentials.

Villa are currently eighth in the league table, but they are only four points adrift of the Champions League places at the moment.

Rashford will be aiming to make an instant impression. His goal contributions could help Villa to finish in the top four again.

Unai Emery's side are most likely to trigger the buy clause in the summer regardless of how he performs over the coming months.
