Marcus Rashford's fall from grace: from Manchester United's teenage prodigy to Aston Villa loanee - Rashford is ‘ready for a new challenge’ at Villa Park. But where did it go wrong for the hometown hero at Old Trafford?

Marcus Rashford finds himself at a crossroads. The 27-year-old has been frozen out of the Manchester United first-team by Ruben Amorim for failing to match expected standards, and a move away from the club in January appears imminent.

Aston Villa have agreed a loan deal until the end of the season with Manchester United for Marcus Rashford. Villa will cover a minimum of three-quarters of the England forward’s wages for the duration of his stay and up to 90 per cent depending on performance-based bonuses.
