Marcus Rashford is due to have a medical at Aston Villa on Sunday as he closes in on completing his loan move from Manchester United, according to Daily Mail.
The English outlet reported that the deal will be an initial loan until the end of the season but it will also include an option for Aston Villa to sign Rashford permanently for a pre-agreed fee, which is understood to be £40 million.
Various outlets have also claimed that Rashford, 27, has already agreed personal terms with Villa for the duration of the loan.
The 60-cap England international is reported to be currently earning around £350,000 per week at Old Trafford, where his contract is not due to expire until June 2028.
It is believed that Villa will cover 70 per cent of his wages, while the loan package will include bonuses for progressing in Europe and for qualifying for the UEFA Champions League again next season.
Rashford, who has been at Manchester United since he was eight years old and has never featured for another club, has not played for the Red Devils since mid-December when he fell out with head coach Ruben Amorim.
The England forward has missed the last 12 matches under Amorim – who has questioned his lifestyle and commitment.
