Marcus Rashford's loan move to Aston Villa has already been handed a summer transfer verdict. Rashford, 27, has endured a high-profile falling out with new head coach Ruben Amorim in recent weeks over claims the forward does not give his all during training sessions.

The Three Lions international has subsequently been dropped by Amorim over claims the club is now actively trying to push him out the door. Rashford has now joined Premier League rivals Aston Villa on loan until the end of the season, where he will be free to play UEFA Champions League football and help in their quest for a top-four finish.

There has been talk that his deal with the Villans does include a £40m option-to-buy in the summer and that a deal could be explored based on his performances in the Midlands. Football finance expert Kieran Maguire spoke to BBC 5 Live Sport earlier this afternoon to explain what this could mean for both Ineos and Aston Villa moving forward.

"Manchester United for example already owe £463million in instalments," began Maguire. "That's a big credit card bill and for anybody who has ever bought on credit, you have to get that down before you can go and have another splurge.

"Manchester United are in a tough position but they have bought over the weekend. The benefit of a loan signing is that if you sign a player with an option to purchase at a certain fee, it brings down that risk.

"If Marcus Rashford delivers then in the summer he could go for the agreed fee and then Aston Villa gets a player for say £40million who is only 27. He can be a top-class striker. From Manchester United's point of view, they at least get some of his wages off in the short term."
