Update: Marcus Rashford Man United future stance made clear amid loan form – ‘love to see him back’ News

Former Manchester United defender Wes Brown has offered his verdict on what may come next for Marcus Rashford amid a positive loan spell at Aston Villa.

Wes Brown admits he would love to see Marcus Rashford back at Manchester United next season.

The 27-year-old found himself out of favour under Reds boss Ruben Amorim after being left out of almost all United matchday squads from his last appearance on December 12 until his loan transfer to Aston Villa in February. Since making the move to Birmingham, Rashford has emerged as a key player for Villa under the guidance of Unai Emery, contributing four goals and six assists.

Rashford’s improved performances have helped propel Villa into the Champions League quarter-finals where they lost over two legs to Paris Saint-Germain. Furthermore, Rashford was called up to the most recent England squad by Three Lions boss, Thomas Tuchel.

The Manchester Evening News understands that Rashford will wait until the summer to make a decision on his future. Villa have an option to buy him for £40million.

And ex-United defender Brown has heaped praise on Rashford’s revival under former Arsenal manager Emery. He also raises hope that a return to M16 could still happen.

“He’s really turned the corner with his performances,” Brown told Sky Sports News. “He’s been playing excellently at Aston Villa.

“Officially, he still is a Manchester United player, so for me, I’d love to see him back and play that well for Manchester United. Whether that happens, we’ll obviously soon find out.

He added, “I don’t necessarily think it’s just about his football skills. It might be things between him and the club.

“But when you fall out, you can always make up and then hopefully for me, that happens.”
