Marcus Rashford has sealed a move away from Manchester United by joining Aston Villa on loan, and the winger has now opened up on the switch.
Rashford had been cast out of the United first-team squad by Ruben Amorim because the head coach was reportedly displeased with the winger’s attitude.
The Portuguese then went on to confirm that the England international would not be featuring in his side unless there was a significant improvement in his behaviour and commitment towards the side.
In the meantime, Rashford continued to look for avenues to exit the club during the winter transfer window, whether on loan or a permanent deal.
The winger was heavily lined with Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan, however, all three prospects died down close to the deadline as Aston Villa swooped in late to sign the England international on loan.
Rashford has now opened up for the first time since his move to the West Midlands and praised Unai Emery.
