Rashford's Fa Cup Setback and What's Next at Man Utd
That Recent Injury and Its Impact
Aston Villa season likely to be without Rashford's contribution
Footie star Marcus Rashford caught a nasty hamstring strain during training thatmade him a spectator for Aston Villa's FA Cup semi-final match against Crystal Palace on April 27, 2025. Unai Emery shared the unwelcome news after the game, revealing that Rashford will probably be out of action for weeks on end[1][2]. Aston Villa's last league game is just around the corner, and with this injury timeline, it looks like Rashford's season might be graveled under.
His Gameplay During the Season
Before his injury, Rashford was an integral part of Aston Villa's squad since his January loan period. In just 17 games, he managed to score four times and provide six assists for the team, playing a vital role in their pursuit of Champions League qualification[2][3].
His Future with Man Utd
Rashford's deal with Manchester United extends until 2028[2]. However, there are question marks hanging over his future following a reported fallout with manager Ruben Amorim that led to his move to Aston Villa[2]. For now, silence surrounds the details about whether Rashford will rejoin Man Utd for the following season or if a different loan or transfer arrangement is on the cards.
Though, Ruben Amorim has hinted that Rashford and Antony will be coming back to the club[1]. So, chances are Rashford will be back with Man Utd after his loan period ends. The discussions on his role at Man Utd or any possible transfer chances will likely happen during the summer transfer window.
Upcoming Matches on the Agenda
Rashford appears unlikely to make a show at Aston Villa's remaining matches against Tottenham on May 18, or their final game against Man United, due to both time constraints and ineligibility[2][3]. This suggests that Rashford's on-field action for the 2024-25 season is almost done and dusted[3].
