Unai Emery could already be fuming with Marcus Rashford despite only joining Aston Villa on Sunday.

The Villans completed the signing of the England international on loan from Manchester United on 2 February with the hope of reigniting his career.

The 27-year-old hasn't featured for the Red Devils since mid-December and could now be in line to become a regular at Villa Park.

With that being said, the latest development emerging surrounding the Old Trafford academy product which may frustrate Emery.

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.

Everyone associated with the claret and blue outfit is desperate to see Rashford succeed and this update won't change that.
