Marcus Rashford move to Aston Villa on loan from Manchester United has sparked discussions about his long-term future. Despite failing to score for Villa so far, Rashford performances have shown glimpses of his previous form. His decline at Manchester United led to criticism, especially after he signed a £300,000-per-week contract until 2028, following a 30-goal season under Erik ten Hag.

In the 2023/24 season, Marcus Rashford struggled at Manchester United, scoring only 15 goals in one and a half years after a 30-goal campaign the previous season. Despite being handed a £300,000-per-week contract until 2028, Rashford's form dipped significantly, leading United to loan him to Aston Villa in January 2025.

While Rashford has yet to score for Aston Villa, his performances have shown glimpses of improvement, sparking discussions about a potential return to Old Trafford. United legend Gary Pallister defended the club’s initial decision to extend Rashford’s contract, citing his previous blistering form and regular inclusion in the England squad. However, Pallister also suggested that the comfort of a high-value contract may have contributed to his decline.

At 27 years old, Rashford's long-term future remains uncertain. While some believe he could revive his career at Manchester United, others feel he may continue elsewhere. His Villa Park stint will be crucial in determining whether he still has a role at United or if a permanent move is the next step. For now, Rashford must prove himself in the remainder of the 2024/25 season.
