- Unai Emery also wants Asensio on loan from PSG
- Villa discussing including option to buy Rashford
Aston Villa are close to agreeing a deal to take Marcus Rashford on loan for the rest of the season, with Unai Emery driving the move to sign the out-of-favour Manchester United forward.
Villa have been exploring the market in that position after the departure of Jhon Durán and are pushing to take Marco Asensio on loan from Paris Saint-Germain as well as Rashford. The club regard Rashford as a low-risk signing given they are unlikely to pay a fee. The England international is due to have a medical on Sunday.
