Aston Villa and Manchester United have had multiple dealings over the last few years in terms of transfers. Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho have both spent spells on loan at Villa Park from United, but neither player was signed permanently after their temporary moves.

Both Sancho and Rashford endured inconsistent spells at Villa, although they did show signs of being smart additions for the Midlands club.

It's now an important summer transfer window approaching for Villa as they look to build a squad capable of competing in the Champions League.

Aston Villa could be busy in the summer window.

According to a report from Sports Boom, Aston Villa are interested in signing Manchester United forward Rashford in the summer transfer window.

It is believed that Villa are prepared to spend big to land the England international, with Unai Emery identifying him as a leading target.

Emery believes Rashford has what it takes to elevate them to the next level, and he looks increasingly likely to leave Old Trafford this summer.

Rashford, described as outstanding by former Liverpool goalkeeper David James, spent last season on loan at Barcelona, but they opted against signing him on a permanent deal.

One deterrent for Villa could be his reported £325,000-a-week salary, so he may have to reduce his wage demands.

Rashford offers something Villa do not currently have in wide areas. The Manchester United forward is a player who loves to run in behind, stretch the defence, and stay out wide.

Emery often uses wide players who drift into central areas, but Rashford is a different profile that can be hugely beneficial in certain games.

Emery could certainly do with having some of the profile of Rashford in Europe, especially when coming up against stronger sides who are likely to dominate possession.

Rashford is deadly in transition, and that could be a key reason why Villa are pushing to secure his signature.
