Marcus Rashford could ‘humiliate’ Ruben Amorim and Manchester United in the same way Chelsea stand to be ’embarrassed’ by their trio of loan cast-offs. These loanees could well finish above their parent clubs this season. How mortifying.

Jadon Sancho has sent a brief, but telling message to Marcus Rashford after his Manchester United teammate released a statement to confirm his transfer away from Old Trafford. Rashford will join fellow Premier League side Aston Villa on a loan deal until the end of the season.

Aston Villa could look to pen deals for two more signings after welcoming Marcus Rashford to the club this month. Rashford is closing in on a move to Villa Park, having said goodbye to his Manchester United team-mates.
