Despite the possibility of his temporary deal being made permanent, it doesn’t appear that the Englishman is planning to stick around Villa Park.

A report has suggested that Rashford remains interested in a move abroad and could use this loan as a stepping stone before heading elsewhere in the summer [TEAMtalk].

After being to Barcelona during the winter window, the prospect of playing at Camp Nou could be in the back of the new Villa signing’s mind already.

This may point towards his thoughts already being away from the West Midlands, which may not go down well with Emery.

On the flip side of this, the prospect of a move to a European giant could result in the Man United loanee performing to the top of his ability which will only benefit the Villans.
