Aston Villa ‘have UCL priority’ as club in pole position for Marcus Rashford
Marcus Rashford is thriving at Aston Villa, but the Manchester United loanee’s future is uncertain ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
Ruben Amorim doesn’t seem to fancy the England international, and it looks unlikely he’ll be a part of his squad next season.
Unai Emery has relied on Rashford since he was signed in the winter transfer window, and the Villans have enjoyed relative success.
While the Lions were knocked out of the Champions League by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), they fought at home and are now looking to secure a place in the competition for the upcoming campaign.
Emery fighting for Champions League spot at Aston Villa
Emery’s team are three points off fifth place in the Premier League, and it remains to be seen what happens in the coming weeks.
With three games left to play in the English top flight, all the Villans can do is win their matches and hope results elsewhere help them.
| Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| 17 | 4 | 6 |
The Lions have shown that they’ve got a squad capable of challenging the biggest teams in Europe, and the fans will want to see that once again in the upcoming campaign.
It’ll also arguably be easier to convince Rashford to stay at Villa Park if they’re competing in the top European competition again.
Inter Milan could be in pole position for Rashford transfer
Rashford may return at Villa Park before the end of the season after picking up an injury, but it remains to be seen when he’ll be back in action.
If the 27-year-old doesn’t play for the Villans again this season, fans may have seen his final appearance in a claret shirt.
The Englishman has pipped Ollie Watkins in the pecking order at the Lions, showcasing the impact he’s had in Birmingham.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see Emery trying to push for Rashford and Marco Asensio’s permanent transfers at Aston Villa, but that could potentially be out of his hands.
Inter Milan could be in pole position to sign the English forward in the upcoming transfer window, according to Spazio Inter.
The news outlet reports (3 May) that the Nerazzurri may reignite their interest in the 27-year-old this summer.
It’s been claimed that the Italian outfit’s place in the Champions League could potentially give them the edge over the Villans.
The Lions have a clear priority in the season’s final stretch to try and get a spot in European football’s top competition.
It won’t be easy, though, with the Birmingham club up against Bournemouth, Tottenham and Man United next in the Premier League.
Emery’s team must be perfect and hope that the likes of Nottingham Forest and Chelsea will slip up in the coming weeks.
