Aston Villa eyeing high-risk, high-reward forward as Marcus Rashford alternative

Aston Villa have been a disappointment in the Premier League this season, falling outside the top six after 35 Matchdays following a top-four finish in 2023/24. Loan acquisitions Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio have had their moments but have been unable to turn the tide for the club. If Rashford and Manchester United both can't come up with reasonable deals, Villa will be forced to look for alternatives up top on the transfer market. Porto star striker Samu Aghehowa is reportedly one of those alternatives Aston Villa could go after, per Portuguese outlet Record. Samu was on the books at Atletico Madrid and broke out at Deportivo Alaves last season as one of the most promising young strikers in LaLiga, electrifying with his ability to turn something out of nothing. Samu almost joi...

Marcus Rashford keeps making it harder for Manchester United to sell him

Marcus Rashford clearly doesn't have a future at Manchester United, and that reality had likely existed for multiple seasons before Ruben Amorim's arrival; it's just that the Portuguese manager has been the first to take formal steps to cutting ties with the perennial disappointment. There is a talented player buried somewhere within Rashford, but even at his latest loan spell with Aston Villa, we've only seen that quality in bits and pieces. For the most part, he's been about as bang average as he was at Old Trafford. With Rashford now out for the rest of the 2024/25 season with a hamstring injury, selling the England international will be more difficult for Manchester United, and Villa are pretty much off the table as a landing spot. Marcus Rashford doesn't want Aston Villa move ...

Selling Marcus Rashford just got even more difficult for Manchester United

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has played himself out of too many second chances at the club, and, this past winter window, the Red Devils finally came to the realization under new manager Ruben Amorim that he's never going to click at Old Trafford. Teams outside of England were unable to facilitate a loan move for Rashford due to his astronomic wages, but Manchester United were able to find a credible landing spot in European hopefuls Aston Villa. Although Villa sit seventh in the Premier League and Rashford has been decent in a rotational role with two goals and two assists with four starts, Aston Villa will finish the 2024/25 season lower than the 2023/24 campaign. Marcus Rashford is now injured So Rashford's long-term future remains uncertain, especially since he mak...

The 3 worst contracts Man United must get rid of in summer 2025 transfer window

Here are three dreadful contracts Manchester United desperately need to get off their books in the summer 2025 transfer window. All wage details are provided by FBRef.com. DM Casemiro There is no doubt that Casemiro is the player Manchester United most need to give the old axe in 2025, and with one year left on his contract, now is the only time for United to get some sort of a fee out of the legendary defensive midfielder from a club in Saudi Arabia. Really, Manchester United should have sold Casemiro in the summer 2024 window instead of keeping him around to cost the team games for yet another season, as his sharp decline was evident in a beyond awful 2023/24 campaign. Casemiro went from being a key veteran leader and a solid Premier League midfielder in 2022/23 to a joke in 2023...
