Now that I have left the club, I think it’s finally time to tell Manchester United fans what really happened and why I haven’t been playing for the club for them not to be mad at me. I did it intentionally and here is wjy”-FANS ARE SHOCKED and Mad at Rúben Amorim after what Marcus Rashford said about him and what the coach did to him, which he claims no other coach has ever done to him. 🗣I felt very heartbroken and didn’t want play football again all because of him.

Marcus Rashford Open to Surprise New Role at Aston Villa After Loan Move
Marcus Rashford is reportedly willing to embrace an unexpected position at Aston Villa, just days after sealing a shock loan move from Manchester United.

Villa secured one of the most high-profile transfers of the January window by bringing Rashford to Villa Park on a deal until the end of the season. Despite interest from several top European clubs, the England international opted to remain in the Premier League, linking up with national teammates Ollie Watkins, Ezri Konsa, and Morgan Rogers.

Eager to revive his career after falling out of favor under United boss Ruben Amorim, Rashford appears open to playing in an unfamiliar role if required.

A New Challenge Up Front?
Initially, Rashford is expected to start in his preferred position on the left wing, forming a dangerous attacking trio alongside Watkins and Rogers. However, according to The Guardian’s Manchester correspondent Jamie Jackson, Rashford could be deployed as a central striker—a role he has previously been reluctant to play.

Posting on X (formerly Twitter), Jackson wrote: “Don’t be surprised if Rashford plays No. 9 for Villa – and flourishes: am told he’s more than happy to play there.”

This shift could be linked to Villa’s recent transfer activity, with striker Jhon Durán departing for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr. Notably, Rashford has also been handed Villa’s No. 9 shirt, further fueling speculation that he could lead the line.

Rashford’s Past Stance on the No. 9 Role
A move to center-forward would come as a surprise given Rashford’s previous comments about preferring a more fluid attacking role. Speaking to Sky Sports in 2019, he stated:

“I’ve never wanted to be just a center-forward. I want to be able to adapt, play different positions, different systems – I don’t want to be just a No. 9.”

How Will Villa Utilize Rashford?
With Watkins thriving as Villa’s main striker in recent seasons, it remains uncertain whether Rashford will be deployed as a full-time center-forward. Instead, the two could rotate between the left wing and striker role, offering Villa flexibility in attack.

Regardless of where he plays, Rashford’s arrival adds firepower to Unai Emery’s squad as Villa push for a strong finish to the season. Fans will be eager to see how he adapts to his new surroundings—and whether he can shine in a position he once resisted.
This would be a major twist in Marcus Rashford’s career. While he’s always been most comfortable on the left wing, a move to a central striker role at Aston Villa could be an interesting experiment—especially since Unai Emery’s tactical flexibility might allow him to thrive alongside Ollie Watkins rather than just replacing him.

If Rashford truly embraces the No. 9 role, it could be a turning point for his career, particularly if he rediscovers his scoring form. Given Villa’s attacking setup and the quality of service he’ll receive, this could either be a masterstroke or another frustrating adaptation period for him.

What do you think—could Rashford actually flourish as a striker at Villa, or is this just a temporary adjustment?
