MARCUS RASHFORD is on the brink of completing his loan move to Aston Villa, according to reports.
The out-of-favour Manchester United forward, 27, is not wanted by Ruben Amorim and has been frozen out since December 12.

Reports on Friday emerged that Villa were keen to take the England international on a temporary deal until the end of the season.
And now The Athletic and Fabrizio Romano claim a deal is nearing completion for Rashford to join Unai Emery’s side.
It is stated Villa are covering the majority of Rashford’s whopping £325,000-a-week wages.
They are also offering performance-related bonuses.
That is largely possible due to the fact the Midlands side sold Jhon Duran to Al-Nassr for £64million.
The reports also add that there will be an option for Villa to buy Rashford included in the deal.
Rashford is keen to get his career back on track after a difficult few years under both Erik ten Hag and now Amorim.
And the possibility of playing in the Champions League again will undoubtedly appeal.
Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan were all linked with the United academy graduate.
But now it appears Rashford will stay put in the Premier League.
