Man Utd are set to seal an agreement with Aston Villa to finally offload Marcus Rashford and end his nightmare under Ruben Amorim.
According to The Sun, the England international is close to joining the Villa Park outfit on loan and the deal includes an agreement to make the move permanent for £40million.

Rashford earns a mammoth salary of £325,000 a week at Old Trafford and the Red Devils will only be paying just over £81,000 a week during his loan tenure.
The Three Lions star is set to replace Jhon Duran, who was recently sold by Villa to Middle East club, Al-Nassr, for a fee of £70million.
Last night, the Birmingham based side lost to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League at the Molineux, but are still in the top half of the table.
Even if Manchester United end up beating Crystal Palace today, they will still be five points behind Unai Emery’s side.
Rashford has not featured in the Premier League for almost two months and should the deal is completed, he will be able to play Champions League football with Villa, who have already booked their place in the Round of 16 of the competition.
The 27-year-old has been a loyal servant but in all fairness, he has never been world class and since his 30-goal season two years ago that earned him a lucrative deal, his performances have been highly inconsistent.
Therefore, it is time to finally offload the academy product, but Amorim must be handed funds to adequately replace him.
In your view, who should Man Utd sign to replace the Villa bound Rashford?
