Rashford swapped United for Villa on loan in early February and since then he has shown flashes of quality, something Red Devils fans have not seen for a while at Old Trafford. The Villans have an option to buy him permanently for £40 million ($53m/€47m) this summer but it remains to be seen if they will do that or if his future lies elsewhere.
