Aston Villa’s recent performances from Marcus Rashford caused fans to question whether he has returned to top form or if his England selection clouded his seasonal play after Man United sent him on loan in January. The club requires an important decision about their future with Villa because the £40 million contract option can be activated for permanent transfer. The club’s decision to sign Rashford permanently depends on their final evaluation as ongoing unsuccessful attempts will result in his return to Man United.
Ian Wright Questions Rashford’s Attacking Instinct And England Future
The former England and Arsenal player Ian Wright expressed concerns about Rashford’s attacking form because the forward appears reluctant to challenge defenders which may jeopardise his England national team position. Wright noticed the ball arrive at Rashford but he thought Rashford would attack it until the striker halted his approach and then retreated. Rashford appears to have something restraining him from playing with attacking intent even though he must approach games as if failure is inevitable. The England squad recall of Rashford has failed to demonstrate he has a positive path forward because some fans question whether the main purpose is transfer valuation elevation for Man United rather than actual performance improvement.
Rashford’s Crucial Test: Villa’s FA Cup And Champions League Campaigns
Rashford now has an important opportunity to show his value to Aston Villa through their upcoming important competitions.

Rashford has demonstrated his ability to produce results in pivotal games but his upcoming performances will decide whether United will keep or sell him permanently. His achievements will determine whether Villa decides to exercise their £40 million agreement for his permanent transfer. A permanent return to United awaits Sancho if doubts about his future at Villa do not fade away since new coach Amorim plans to exclude him from the first-team squad.
