Marcus Rashford has been thriving at Aston Villa since departing Manchester United on loan in the January transfer window - yet his future remains up in the air.

Sky Sports News reported Villa have not yet decided whether to take up their £40m option to turn Rashford's temporary move into a permanent deal, despite the forward scoring three goals and adding five assists across his 15 outings in claret and blue.

Unai Emery admitted "it depends on the circumstances for now and the next weeks" while sources indicate the forward has not given up hope of joining Barcelona.
