Aston Villa complete Rashford deal

Marcus Rashford, the Manchester United star, will join Aston Villa during the current winter transfer market, after the two clubs reached a final agreement to complete the deal, according to press reports. 
Journalist Fabrizio Romano, who specializes in the winter transfer market, confirmed that the Marcus Rashford deal to Aston Villa has already been completed, after agreeing on a loan deal with more than 70% of the salary covered by the Villans. 
He pointed out that the loan contract will include a purchase option clause worth 40 million pounds, with the possibility of concluding a deal for three and a half years. The medical examination was booked on Sunday.
Aston Villa's contract with Rashford comes to compensate for the departure of the young Colombian striker, John Duran, to Al-Nasr Saudi Arabia in a deal worth 64 million pounds. 
Press reports had previously indicated that Manchester United wanted to get rid of Rashford's services to a club outside England, but the difficulties the club is facing in obtaining a suitable offer for the departure of the player with the highest wages in the club, worth 315 thousand pounds per week, prevented that. 
Rashford participated in 15 matches in the English Premier League this season, scoring 4 goals and making one assist, while he participated in 6 matches in the European League, scoring one goal and making another.
