Marcus Rashford (27), who was perfectly revived in Aston Villa, ended the season early.
The British newspaper BBC reported on the 28th (Korea time) that Rashford will not be able to play until the end of the season due to a hamstring injury. Rashford missed the 2024-2025 FA Cup semifinals against Crystal Palace on the 27th due to a hamstring injury, and Aston Villa were defeated 0-3 and failed to advance to the final.
Rashford was the face of United. He had a relationship with Manchester United 20 years ago at the age of seven. He made his first team debut in February 2016 when he was 18 years old.
Rashford has established himself as Manchester United's savior, scoring 17 goals and five assists in 35 English Premier League (EPL) games in the 2022-2023 season, former coach Erik ten Hag's first season. However, the form of the 2023-2024 season has fallen sharply. He only scored seven goals and had two assists in 33 matches in the EPL.
This is the 10th season. He scored four goals and one assist in 15 EPL matches. However, concerns continued to be raised in the private life of not being able to focus on soccer. Coach Ruben Amorim crossed a bridge that he could not return after taking the helm in November last year.

Rashford left Manchester United earlier this year through the winter transfer market. Aston Villa coach Unai Emery joined hands. It was 'Honey-in'. Rashford scored four goals and six assists on loan. Last month, it was also re-appointed to the England national team, which was led by Thomas Tuchel.
'BBC' is still evaluating the severity of the Rashford injury. It's not that there's no chance of returning before the end of the Premier League season. However, he is more likely to focus on recovery in preparation for the England A-match in June, the World Cup qualifier against Andorra and the friendly against Senegal.
Aston Villa were eliminated in both the European Champions League and the FA Cup. The last remaining competition is the EPL. It is currently ranked 7th (57 points).
There is still hope to play in the European Champions League next season. The gap between the 4th-ranked Manchester City (61 points) and the 5th-ranked Chelsea (60 points) is 4 points, and the gap between the 4th-ranked Manchester City (61 points) is 3 points. EPL cruised in the European competition this season and secured five berths for the European Champions League finals next season.
Coincidentally, Aston Villa's final EPL match on May 26th is Manchester United, Rashford's original team. However, Rashford is unavailable on loan. So I have to return to my last home game against Tottenham on May 18, but it's not easy.

Rashford is out of contract with Aston Villa at the end of this season. However, the possibility of returning to Manchester United is not high. Manager Amorim recently said there was bleeding in January. Talking about Rashford and Antony, we lost them. However, he failed to recruit a new player. It was dangerous" but "We're trying to do something more important. I think there's something more important than scoring 10 more goals this season. It can hurt the squad now, but I think we are on that path because it will help the club in the future," he stressed.
"'BBC' said that while his contract with Manchester United is valid until 2028, he does not expect Amorim to play for the club again while he is manager.
Rashford has already decided not to talk to any club about his future until the end of the summer.
