That means United will need to decide whether to sell the 27-year-old or let him leave the club on another loan deal this summer.
United and Amorim are trying to juggle their finances to rebuild their teams to fit the original sports boss’ preferred style of play.
But that’s not likely.
Rashford excludes the possibility of moving to London, ideally joining a club that competes in the Champions League.
Sources close to the player aren’t planning on doing so until mid-June, not that Rashford is still talking about his future.
However, it is understood that he is not interested in being part of a swap deal – after recent speculation about United’s interest in Crystal Palace Forward Ebekiez.
Rashford is a more appealing proposal for potential suitors than when he joined the villa on February 2nd.
Four goals in 17 games could not be considered prolific, but his overall contribution to Villa’s cause – including six assists – was important.
It recalled Rashford into the English fold, continuing to annoy international Ollie Watkins with the bench for villa replacements.
After a good performance against Parliament Germany last week, the FA Cup semi-final meeting with Crystal Palace on Saturday and the ongoing battle at the Champions League location is a much more positive position than United’s ongoing struggle.
As one of United’s highest earners, the number of clubs that can meet Rashford’s salary is not abundant.
However, United funded some of his wages to push the villa forward, and the senses around the Rashford camp are likely to have a great interest in him in the summer.
Villa boss Unai Emery has been cautious about discussing Rashford’s future at the club.
“I’m very pleased with him,” Emery said after his defeat by Villa City. “He’s working really well. His adaptation is quick and his commitment to the process is really important to us and him.
“He needs to continue and continue on Saturday. Hopefully he can help again.”
