Rashford likely to return to Old TraffordPaul Dickov expects him to leave regardlessInjury has hampered Aston Villa loanFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?
Rashford enjoyed a promising start to his loan spell at Villa, but his time in Birmingham has been curtailed by injury. In total, he has played 17 times for the club, contributing 10 goal involvements. Former Manchester City star Paul Dickov does not believe he has any chance of working his way back into Ruben Amorim's plans at Manchester United.

Rashford played 15 times for United in the Premier League before he moved to Villa and scored just four times, while also laying on one assist. Dickov does not believe he suits the club's system, and has urged the England star, who earned an international recall by virtue of his performances under Unai Emery, to seek a fresh start abroad. Rashford is reported to believe similar.
WHAT PAUL DICKOV SAID
Dickov told 10bet: "From the outside looking in, it doesn't look like it. Ruben Amorim's got his way of playing. It looks pretty obvious that Marcus doesn't fit into the system that he plays. It looks as if there's been some sort of fallout there. I think maybe for Marcus as well, who I think is a wonderful player, he needs to get away and kickstart his career again, whether that be at Villa or a brand new challenge altogether. There's a lot of noise coming from the press that he wants to go abroad.
"So I think it will probably be really difficult for him to go back to Man United because of the alleged fallout that he's had with Amorim. It's difficult to go back sometimes, and I don't think Amorim sees him fitting into the system that he's got there at Manchester United. Amorim’s not really had the opportunity to bring in his own players to fit into that system as well.
"Up until his injury, Rashford was doing really well at Aston Villa and, with the right manager and playing the right position, he can get his form back and be scoring goals again because he can be electric at times. But maybe a different culture, a change of scenery, going to a different experience in a different league as well, could suit him.
"He's been in the Premier League and at Manchester United for a long time, and sometimes that change can do you a world of good."
