Marcus Rashford’s future at Man United remains up in the air, but the full-back’s situation has become clearer, which could benefit Aston Villa.
The Englishman has been out of favor at Old Trafford since the arrival of Ruben Amorim in November, with the former Sporting CP boss excluding the 27-year-old from several matchday call-ups, including Rashford staying at home for the Manchester Derby.
Aware of the striker’s situation, several clubs have been interested in the player, with AC Milan are stepping up their efforts to bring Rashford to Italy.
Borussia Dortmund are another side looking to sign the Man United star in January, which could see Donyell Malen leave the Bundesliga side. The Dutch star will enter the final 12 months of his contract in Germany this summer, so now would be the ideal time to sell the 25-year-old.
Aston Villa are interested in bringing the striker to Villa Park with the Birmingham club believed to have already agreed terms with the player, reports the Birmingham Post Office.
Rashford’s arrival at Dortmund would speed up that deal as Aston Villa have yet to agree a transfer fee with the German giants.

The outlet claim Malen is believed to be keen on the prospect of playing Premier League football and reports in Germany claim a deal between the two clubs should be done shortly. While Tottenham have also been monitoring their current situation at Signal Iduna Park.

Dortmund are looking for at least £25m for the Dutch star and it remains to be seen if that is a figure Aston Villa are willing to pay.
Wingers are needed at Villa Park and the 25-year-old can be a huge threat on his day. Malen has featured in 20 games for Borussia Dortmund this season, producing five goals and one assist. The Bundesliga star scored last time out against Wolfsburg, which could be his ultimate target for his current side.
