Aston Villa have made an enquiry over the loan signing of Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.

Villa are considering a move for the 27-year-old after selling Jhon Duran to Al Nassr, according to Sky Sports.

Unai Emery's side are also interested in Paris Saint-Germain's Marcos Asensio and Chelsea's Joao Felix, as confirmed by Villa's president of football operations Monchi.

Seven speculation-filled weeks have passed since Rashford last played for his boyhood club in the Europa League trip to Viktoria Plzen - and he remains in the cold ahead of Monday's 11pm deadline.

The England international last month revealed he was "ready for a new challenge", but few clubs offer an obvious landing spot thanks in no small part to his wages.

Rashford was left out of United's 21-man squad for Thursday's Europa League win at FCSB despite the forward training with his team-mates on the eve of the match.

Man Utd boss Ruben Amorim suggested last weekend after the 1-0 win at Fulham he would currently rather have United's 63-year-old goalkeeping coach in his squad than Rashford.

There have been reports this week that Amorim and Rashford were no longer on speaking terms.

Rashford's preference is still to move to Barcelona - but they have yet to make any formal arrangements to take him on loan from Manchester United.

The Spanish giants are struggling to create salary space as contract renewals increase their wage bill, with fringe players like Ansu Fati and Andreas Christensen not wanting to leave the club in this window.

Sources in Spain say Rashford, who has not played in 11 games since being left out of the Manchester derby, is willing to reduce his salary if that can make a deal happen.

Borussia Dortmund checked with United about the conditions of a loan for Rashford earlier in the window, although the finances involved make a deal to the German club unlikely.

Meanwhile, Fenerbahce vice-president Acun Ilicali revealed that the club are not interested in signing Rashford, contrary to reports.

Amorim has left the door open for Rashford to fight his way back into first-team contention, saying United are "a better team with Rashford" but he " has to change" before he can force his way back into the first-team reckoning.
