MARCUS Rashford has been told he will never play at Old Trafford while Ruben Amorim is manager.
Rashford, 27, last played for United on December 12 with Amorim leaving him out of the squad for every game since apart from one, in which he was an unused substitute.
The forward admitted last month he is “ready for a new challenge” and the Portuguese tactician suggested he is so unhappy with the way the player trains he’d rather pick 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital than him.
Now, the England international has joined Aston Villa in a loan deal with around 75 per cent of his salary covered by Unai Emery’s side.
That would mean Rashford won’t be sacrificing his £325,000-a-week wages.
There is an option for the Villans to buy the winger included in the deal with Man Utd for £40million.
It means Rashford will get the chance to continue performing at top level in the Premier League and Champions League, something that was impossible under Amorim.
A United insider told SunSport it had been made clear to Rashford he would not play for the Red Devils again while the 40-year-old head coach was at the helm.
A source said: “Marcus always said he would never play for another club in England because he is a United fan.
“He started to think he needed to move earlier this season and wanted to go to a big European club.
“The reality is he’s not had the interest he expected. Villa first showed a tentative interest in him last November.
“Amorim has made it very clear he has no future at Old Trafford.
