There are speculations that Marcus Rashford was targeted because of his high pay he receives. Since Manchester United started its cost cutting programs they have been forced to take some hard decisions. Even Rashford believes that Sir Jim Ratcliffe gave Rubem Amorin the task of forcing the English star to leave Old Trafford.
With his high wage still intact and Aston Villa's group stage success in the UEFA champions, Rashford had to grab the opportunity. And with the money Aston Villa made from the sale of Jhon Duran to Saudi Arabia, they would be able to pay their part of Rashford's salary.
