Villa fear Rashford could miss the rest of the season with the hamstring injury which kept him out of the FA Cup semifinal, a source has told ESPN.

Manchester United have reportedly entered into discussions with Aston Villa about bringing Marcus Rashford back to Old Trafford before the end of his loan spell. The 27-year-old is in real danger of missing the rest of the season due to a hamstring injury, which has struck weeks before the most important summer transfer window of his career.

Rashford left boyhood club Man Utd in January after failing to impress head coach Ruben Amorim and subsequently being frozen out by the Portuguese. The forward weighed up his options before landing at Aston Villa on loan. Unai Emery’s side have the option to sign Rashford permanently this summer for £40million (€47m / $53m).
