Man United fans are having a serious meltdown on social media amid Rashford's imminent departure from the club.

Marcus Rashford’s time at Manchester United appears to be coming to an emotional close, as the forward prepares for a shock loan move to Aston Villa.

According to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, an agreement has been reached for Villa to cover 70 percent of Rashford’s staggering £325,000-a-week salary, with a £40 million option to make the deal permanent.

The 27-year-old is expected to undergo a medical on Sunday, sealing what could be the beginning of a new chapter away from Old Trafford.

Romano further reports that if all goes well, Rashford could sign a potential three-and-a-half-year deal at Villa Park at the end of the season. 

This move comes after weeks of speculation surrounding the England international’s strained relationship with United’s head coach, Ruben Amorim.

The tension had left Rashford frozen out of the squad for nearly two months, raising serious doubts about his future at the club.

Villa’s need for attacking reinforcement became more urgent after selling striker Jhon Duran to Al-Nassr this January.

 If all goes as planned, Rashford could soon be linking up with Ollie Watkins and Marco Asensio in Unai Emery’s attack, giving Villa a significant boost as they push for a top-four finish. 

However, the transfer window closes at 11 PM on Monday, leaving little room for any last-minute hitches.

Mixed Reactions as Man United fans struggle to cope with Rashford's imminent exit

Despite the mixed reactions, one thing is certain – Rashford’s move marks the end of an era at United. 

With the final details being ironed out, all eyes are now on Sunday’s medical, which could officially signal the start of Rashford’s next adventure at Aston Villa.
